## Description

Synology DiskStation DS223J Network Storage Drive (White)

Review: Compact, stable, app easy to use, happy with it - Used for a week, it is good and performs as expected. Phone wireless backup is easy to set up and works smoothly, take a bit of time for first upload a few hundred GB of media. The app is user-friendly, making setup and file sharing simple. App will stop when you use the iphone even focus mode enabled. That can be improved though. Overall, it’s smaller and better than expected for daily home use. I’m using normal older HDDs and it still runs well. There is a bit of noise when it’s running, but it’s acceptable.
Review: Very Capable network drive - I am a newbie when it comes to network attached storage systems as my old Iomega NAS was as basic as they can get back in the day. I decided to bite the bullet with this Synology NAS as an upgrade and was happily surprised of its capabilities. It’s certainly more advanced than my old NAS and exceeded all expectations for what I need it to do. I am still figuring out most of its features, but the setup is quite easy. I would say that if you wanted to install twin drives, please plan ahead and ensure you use two internal HDD of same sizes and formats to avoid conflicts. Also be prepared to embrace new technology and maintenance involved. Scrubbing HDD is new to me! The apps was also a game changer which allowed mobile/remote control. Great kit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the memory upgradable?**
A: No it can't. DS220J memory is fixed at 512 MB. Current software upgrade requires a minimum of 1 GB according to Synology's own notes.  Avoid this model/brand.

**Q: what physical size harddrives can be used?**
A: The hard drive "size" is not the physical size of the drive itself but the diameter of the platter inside the drive.  A standard desktop HDD is 5.75" x 4" but has a 3.5" platter inside. Hence the name 3.5" drive even though it is physically much bigger.  A notebook HDD measures 4" x 2.75" and referred to as a 2.5" drive.

**Q: If single drive is installed initially, then 2nd drive is added later. does raid 1 get configured? or does both drive need to be installed together?**
A: I installed one drive initially, and then added a second drive later.  The second drive was automatically added as a Raid 1 drive.

**Q: Can it be used as a datastore for esxi or backup VMs?**
A: Technically you can but not recommended. You will likely get terrible performance because the CPU and memory is not designed for this use case.  512MB RAM is very low for a datastore. This model is really geared towards traditional file sharing and media streaming.  You want something with higher CPU and read/wrtie caching like the DS218/DS218+.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Need to buy the HDD's separately - works without Synology branded dives
*by M***R on 6 April 2026*

Bought to store my music and photos, and back up some of my PC files. After all but part of music library (ripped via iTunes) was 'sync'd' (removed) from my PC to OneDrive after the Win 11 'upgrade', and losing the interface to update it to my Sonos system, I decided to upgrade my DS120j (which only had a 1TB HDD) to a two disc DS223j and store all 2000+ albums in one place. Added a 2 x WD RED 3TB HDD - CMR (SMR not recommended). Its very quiet and has incredible compatility with the Sonos app. I use the old DS120j as a back up drive (added a WD PURPLE). My only critisim is that when browsing photos via the Synology app, it also shows the album artwork mixed in with the photos. I had to download the Synology photos app. to view remotely. I've also been able to share the photos with my children who no longer with me. Once you I got used to the Synology interface, pretty easy to setup and use. For what I use it for, its ideal.
