[CONTEST] Win a Synology DS112

laneys · 6th August 2012, 3:22 PM

Hello OCAU members!

Synology has partnered with PCWorld Australia to bring you an exciting contest.

Just tell us how a NAS server would increase your office productivity and you will have a chance to test-drive the DS112 in your own home!

If you are chosen as a winner, you also agree to share and send your DiskStation experience to PCWorld. After finishing your mini review of the new DiskStation, you’ll get it to keep as a thank you.

Beggars cant be choosers but a 1 bay unit is pretty lame and wouldn't really give a reviewer a substantial overview of the product ranges performance and capabilities.

Ha, if the software on this thing is the same as whats on mine someone is in for a nice treat!

I just purchased a 5 bay one of these... 10Tb to fill now

Hi scrantic,

We will bring more contests to OCAU members! Please stay tuned.

Hi FuzzyKaos,

All the Synology DiskStations run on the same operating system, DSM. I look forward to seeing you in the contest.

pity its not the DS112j - I wouldn't mind my own cloud device!

scrantic · 17th August 2012, 8:13 AM

I wait with baited breath

a 1512 or 1812 would be lovely

OCAU storage forum and 1 bay nas?

you must not have met our members, you looking at 10+ bays average here

Hi tiro_uspsss,
The DS112 is a faster model than the DS112j, and has all the features as the DS112j. This is a great opportunity to try out a Synology DiskStation if you don't have one now.

Hi scrantic,
We will have more contests in the future. If you don't want to wait, the DS112 could be a good start.

Hi Quoccus,
Thanks for the great feedback. We sure will bring other bigger models to OCAU members.

Can't see sponsor under that username...

Are these off the shelf NAS things any good yet, or are they all still well under gigabit performance wise?

Id certainly love to give this ago.

Would love to test out the ip camera functions.
