DS215j - Products - Synology - Network Attached Storage (NAS)

Looks like a nice little machine. Dual core Armada 375 running at 800MHz and 512MB RAM. If you are in the market for a small 2-bay, I think this is probably ideal. I'm a little surprised they didn't go for the Comcerto as per the 414j - it's a very good chip, let down by totally sub-par cooling in the chassis (the only reason I returned my 414j was due to baking my drives at 50C - the two 80mm fans just aren't good enough to cool 4 drives).

The 213j was a good little machine, only let down by the single core Armada 370. With dual core I think we'll be seeing the 215j for a long, long time.

2x80mm not enough too cool 4 drives?

Man they must be either very slow / or really bad fans

Se3016 only has 2x80mm fans and can cool 15 drives easily

Yeah, they're quite slow fans, and a bit thinner than the usual 80mm fans you would expect to see. I think they run at 900rpm flat out.

The 92mm in the 213j is a far better fan, cools the same Toshiba drives that cooked in the 414j, no problem.
