This unit is in A1 condition. It comes in a mint ‘as new’ condition box with all the original cardboard inserts, protective wrapping, original documentation and cd in original plastic bags.


The unit itself is in excellent A1 condition and really is as good a condition as you could buy 2nd hand. The unit has operated as it should without fault the entire time I have owned it. It has never skipped a beat, crashed or turned itself off. It really is a great nas unit.


It can take up to 4 hard drives and can be setup using all the major Raid modes. As of yesterday I had 4 x 4TB WD red drives installed using synology’s own SHR raid. I set it up to give me a 1 disk failure protection but you could set it up however you wish. You can start of with one hard drive and work your way up adding capacity as you need it.


I stored all of my 1080p bluray movies, home vids and photos on it and was able to access them anywhere in the house via pc or my iphone (using synology apps). I was also able to access my data while I was out and about using Synologys cloud software. At home I ran kodi over my network which streamed HD content stored on the nas unit without fault or stutter.


The unit was running the latest Synology OS DSM 6.1.4 which was again running without fault. Synology really have done a great job with this model with all current apps and software working and compatible.


I am selling this unit without disks as I am keeping them. So you are purchasing the DS413 as it originally was sold.
