I just chatted with Samsung and they said the S03US has a 5400 rpm drive, but Amazon is showing 7200. All the other specs look the same. I did see some posts where the S)3US came with Windows 7 Pro instead of the Home edition. We'll have to see.

As an owner of two Drobo's, I wouldn't buy another one of them. Look at the Synology NAS devices. I can't think of any aspect where the Synology isn't superior - especially the tech support. Or if fireproof, waterproof and bulletproof counts, look at ioSafe which runs the Synology software.

I have never own a 733 but I have the 788. It not bad. I think it should not much of a difference. Just go to youtube and check it out.

From what I've read on the Synology website the DS213 supports the 2.5" SSD - MZ-7PC512B/WW and the 2.5" SSD - MZ-7PD128BW. That being said, I chose to go with two WD 4TB SATA 3 HD's until the price on the SSD's drop and sizes increase.

The NAS drives are more a hardware difference than software. Sure they may offer some enterprise features like secure erase in hardware, etc. but the real difference is the hardware. These drives are designed to better dampen internal generated and externally received vibrations. This design is due to the close proximity of the drives and the 24/7 operation. Check the specs and these drive typically rank between desktop and enterprise drives in terms of MTBF. They may have longer warranties as well. All-in-all it simply boils down to how much do you love your data? What is being stored on the NAS. Is it precious? I ran a DroboFS for two years with WD green drives. I replaced them with these drives thinking this was a better choice for my circumstances. The choice is ultimately yours.

I've been debating this also, the ss2300 has great reviews and a much higher MSRP, so it appears to be a better deal. But if this is basically the same but only a newer model maybe this is my best bet.

http://www.synology.com/us/products/DS1511+/ Looks like you need the DX510. Not sure if the DX513 will work.

I don't see it listed among the compatible sata's on www.synology.com/en-global/support/hd/model/DS1513+

Yes, it is supported. While I've never had a malfunction issue, I have called them with a couple of questions as recently as November '12. This product has been replaced by the DS212j, hence why they don't have the DS211j listed any longer. Didn't see the post below before I posted this, but I also recommend getting the newer model. While the 211j takes care of 90% of my needs, I would really like to use it as a Plex server, but only the newer Intel cpu diskstations support it.

Hands down the dw621 is the better router. Excellent micro depth adjustment, dust pick up, base has parallel sides. The only draw back is the switch, it takes getting used to, there's some awkward finger/wrist movement required.

DS713+ is best suited for business use. Is a more robust system. The DS214+ is intended for home use. So if you are looking for something to have at home to store the pictures of your kids, some files and videos. the DS214+ will do the job. But, if you are looking for a NAS storage for your small business and can't afford at the moment the more expensive models with 4 or 5 bays, the DS713+ is a good start. later on you can attach the DX513 for expansion. Cheers!!

The DS214 supports up to 8TB HDD. Before purchasing HDDs, I highly recommend that you consult the Synology Compatibility list found at https://www.synology.com/en-us/compatibility

Stacie, I bought the DS-3 and it is doing a fantastic job. I understand your dilema because when I was researching shredders, I was faced with similar questions. I based my decision on the reviews at Amazon and on other sites outside of Amazon. I also considered the list prices of each one I researched. I like the shut-off feature if you touch near the opening and the access to the basket if you wish to bypass the shredder. I am happy with the DS-3 and still think it's the best value for the money. Definately worth $5.00 more than the W-11C. The 1/2 inch difference in the length of the paper cut (security level) is a non issue, in my opinion. If I were buying one today, I would buy the DS-3.

I have 4 ST3000DM0001 and one ST3000VN0000 in a Synology DS1512+ and it doesn't cause any problems. It doesn't add anything to performance either though. The price between the two is only $10 dollars right now, so I would just flip a coin. My long term plan is to replace the DM drives with VN drives as my old drives die.

I'm not an authority, but I think you are right. I looked at other sites that sell it. ASUS site was no help, as it does not separate the sub-models. As far as I can tell, the DS02 is just the DS03, but at a price difference. Maybe there is some small internal change that is invisible to the end user, but justifies a slightly different model number.
