NAS News – Synology release the DS716+II NAS – An Update to the Synology DS716+

New NAS news

 News has just arrived here at NASCompares.com that one of the best NAS units of the year, the Synology DS716+ network attached storage device is getting anew revision. Say hello to the Synology DS716+II NAS server. 

But is the 716+II a big leap or just a tiny stumble?

What is the difference between the DS716+II
and the DS716+?

So, why the change? I hear you ask. Well. rumours suggest one of two things. First that demand for the DS716+ NAS has been so great that the CPU for the device is not available and given that the newer and soon to be released Synology DS916+ is arriving with the Intel Celeron N3160 Quad Core 1.6GHz that can be bursted to 2.24GHz, they have decided to add this chip to the newer version, the Synology DS716+II.

Why did Synology change the NAS hardware?

On the other hand, maybe Synology NAS like QNAP is bring out different versions of their NAS devices – Once again like the DS916+ NAS that arrives in both a Synology DS916+ (2GB) version and a larger Synology DS916+ (8GB) NAS server model.

 The other reason is regarding the NAS community and their demand for higher spec from their hardware. Of course there ARE better CPU’s out there – but I cannot complain if the DS716+II arrives with a newer CPU. I wish I could tell you there we’re more difference in the DS 716+ II, but sadly the only other change is the price. The Synology DS716+II is available now from nascompares.com and will be more expensive than it’s predecessor, the DS716+. So if you were thinking about buying this quality, quad-core NAS and budget is an issue – I urge you to snap up the older unit and buy your NAS at nascompares.com now.
