My standard review disclaimer: Synology provided the unit and upgrades as part of this review, but has had no editorial input into this video, nor was I paid to produce it. The opinions expressed here are exclusively my own. My responsibility to you, the viewer, is paramount. This video has the "includes paid promotion" setting enabled simply because YouTube does not discern product reviews from other forms of paid content.
