Synology DiskStation DS716+II



 The DS716+II comes with two Gigabit Ethernet ports at the back, which offer redundancy in case one of the links goes down, a feature that will definitely be appreciated by the enterprise users. You also get two USB 3.0 ports at the back, and an eSATA port as well. The rear also features the reset button, a Kensington Security Slot to keep the unit secure, and of course the power port and the fan.
Apart from the two drive bays, each of which has a drive status indicator LED of its own, the front has a status indicator that gives you an idea of the overall health of the NAS unit. Below that there are the two LAN indicators, with the power button at the bottom right of the front side of the unit. In between, you have a USB 3.0 port and a copy button, which lights up when you connect a USB drive or a camera, and can be used to copy data from the connected device to the Synology unit.
We moved our two drives from the DS215j to the DS716+II by following simple instructions on the Synology website. Between our previous review and now, Synology pushed a big software update to most of its NAS units in the form of DMS 6.0, which brings a bunch of new features and enhancements.
