    Synology DS220j DiskStation 2-Bay NAS - Diskless (Replace DS218j)

    Frustrating with unintuitive defaults that will confuse you and waste your time
    If you're expecting this device to be simple and intuitive, you will be disappointed and worse frustrated. I initially installed 1 HDD and noticed that the files I copied onto it consumed twice the disk space I expected. I couldn't find a good explanation of SHR (their RAID) that answered the question of what it did on a single disk and assumed it had made redundant copies. So I added another drive. And found I still had no more disk space. 2Tb was consuming 8 Tb of physical disk space. Is that what you want? By default, hidden in options - it created another version of every file I copied which initially doubled the disk space. Then, adding the second disk, it made a redundant copy in case of drive failure. Now the second part was expected (RAID). The first was not. Apparently this is 'helpful' for some people. It's called 'versioning' - but it's more correctly DiskSpaceWaste(TM). It's flawed for 2 reasons. First it should not be on by default, Second it not make copies of files before they're modified - essentially duplicating the files independent of RAID. It's comically bad and indefensible. Sure - offer versioning but don't have it on by default and don't make extra versions until something changes.
