Will give it a few weeks to see if they solved the fan idle issue.
#Best nas drive for mac update
However since the last update on DSM3.2, I have not encountered the overheating again. Synology's support has been very responsive and offered even to swap my DS411slim. When you login again, the system shutsdown for overheating. The only downside which I have read in other blogs is when the DS411slim goes to sleep mode, it appears the fan is idle rising temperature on Disk#4.

Even upgraded to Lion and soon after the upgrade was available. I nonetheless went for it, added 4x 1GB HDD (WD Scorpio Blue) and the setup and software DMS 3.2 was just a breeze. 4x 2.5" HDD (laptop HDD) which means I can have up to 2 disks failure in RAID mode (I stick to 1 Disk failure config since it is personal use) and quiet like a church on a Monday hence using 16W only! The downside is the price. I started to look at 2HDD solution but then came across the DS411slim. I have little space in my office and all the 5 HDD NAS became to me a no go solution. I checked other similar products and yes Synology DS1511+ looked very slick but again too big. After I visited the shop I was a bit let down by the design of the housing and felt it was bulky. My first thought goes to something like Freenas that can do shares for the same files to both Windows and Macos with SMB and AFS respectively. Buffalo TeraStation 1200D Buffalo makes one of the best looking NAS devices on our list, fitting well within. First as mentioned I was attracted by Drobo FS NAS solution. Ive not set up a true NAS before, but you can access SMB shares on a Mac, if thats what you mean by Windows Based. The TerraMaster F2-220, without drives, can be found on Amazon and Newegg for 199.99. Enter the IP address for your Synology NAS, preceded by 'afp://' For example, 'afp://192.168.59.121'.

Using this method will leave you an opening to reboot your Mac and keep the network drive mapped as well. By NAS standards, the LinkStation 210 is an absolute bargain it's almost in the price range of traditional hard disk drives (HDD) that you find in many computers. Find the menu bar along the top of the screen. A NAS device might be either an external hard. Just a quick update on my seach and selection. If you're on a tight budget and don't need to store a ton of data, the Buffalo LinkStation 210 is a great option.
