Title: HD Dock for Synology 1513+ recommendations?
Post by: alatreille on March 02, 2017, 01:47:11 am

HI all,

I'm want to purchase a HD Dock for backing up my Synology 1513+ NAS

Similiar to this one:
https://www.amazon.ca/Mediasonic-Docking-Station-Function-HUD1-SU3/dp/B0115NB41E/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1488437064&sr=1-1&keywords=Mediasonic+ProBox+2+Bay+2.5%2F3.5IN+SATA+USB+3.0#Ask

If you have a Synology NAS and use a dock like this, could you please chime in and tell me about your experience with it? 

Many thanks.

Cheers

Andrew

I have a Synology NAS and my current USB3 dock seems to be working, but on reading Jim Kasson's post, I ordered the OWC dock that he recommends. It will arrive tomorrow and I will post my experience. However, a short term experience would not be meaningful to assess reliability, and I am relying on Jim's recommendation.
