There’s a choice of control panels: Basic displays the features most people will want to get to grips with while the Advanced option offers plenty of scope for those that want to delve deeper into the system to take advantage of all the features the software offers.Īt the heart of DSM is Storage Manager. Clicking on the left-hand tab at the top opens a window with more advanced menu choices than the basic one.Ĭlicking on the furthest right-hand icon at the top of the window opens the System Health and Resource Monitor widgets. The basic start page just lists four items Package Center, Control Panel, File Station and DSM help. Synology updates it at regular intervals to add more features and apps.
DSM has a graphically rich interface with all the major features of the OS clearly listed. To test the DiskStation DS119j, we used version 6.2.1 (6.2.1-23824) of Synology’s DSM (DiskStation Manager) OS.

Fitting the hard drive isn't a tool free exercise as the drive is held in place by six screws. If in doubt about how, there is a little diagram on the sticker on the base of the unit which shows which way to move it. Straight out of the box the two fixing screws (one at the top and one at the base of the rear panel) aren't in place but Synology include them in the box bundle. To get to the drive bay you simply slide the two sections of the NAS apart. To the left of these is a Kensington Security Slot.īoth side panels of the DiskStation DS119j enclosure have the Synology logo etched into them which not only looks good, also helps with keeping the internals cool. Under the grill sit all the ports two USB 2.0 (vertically mounted) and a 1GbE Ethernet port. It has an airflow rating of 15.9CFM and a quoted noise level of 22.5dB(A).
The fan itself is a YS Tech FD126015LL which has a Sintetico bearing and a maximum spin speed of 3,100rpm. The rear panel of the NAS is dominated by the grill for the 60mm cooling fan. It's this grey panel that holds the power button and three indicator LEDs Status, LAN and Disk Activity. The Synology DiskStation DS119j is a two part design in a glossy white ABS plastic with the white finish only broken by a dark grey vertical panel on the front of the unit, the back panel and its black rubber feet. There's a EDAC EA1024PR 36W power adapter, a decent quality LAN cable, hard drive mounting screws, enclosure screws (out of the box the enclosure doesn't have these fixed in place) and a Quick Installation Guide. The box bundle for the drive doesn't have much in it, but it's everything you need to get the DS-119j up and running. The other side panel has a list of possible uses for the DS119j Mobile Support, Surveillance, Backup and Data Security. Under these is a small panel listing what OS the NAS is compatible with Windows. One side of the box has a group of icons representing some of the DSM OS features File Sharing, Anywhere Access, Cloud Synchronization and Multimedia. The right hand side of the label has a small spec list of the drive along with a list of what's bundled in with it. The section on the left-hand side has front and rear images of the DS-119j with pointers picking out its hardware features. The rear of the box has a label that has two sections. Under the image there are a couple of lines of text describing some of the features of the unit Dual-core CPU, quiet and energy efficient, anywhere access and that it uses Synology's DSM software. The DiskStation DS119j comes in a compact box with a small but clear image of the unit on the front. Rear panel connectors: 2 x USB 2.0, 1 x RJ45ĭimensions (D x W x H): 166 x 71 x 224mm. Processor: Marvell Armada 3700 88F3720 (800MHz) dual core The DiskStation DS119j combines frugal power demands – 5.01W in HDD hibernation and just 10.04W when fully active – with low noise emissions when it's hard at work.
The DS119j comes with 256MB of memory as standard and if feel you need a bit more poke from the memory department, sadly you are out of luck as you can't add to the system's memory. The Armada 3700 also has a hardware encryption engine built in. The 32-bit Marvel Armada 370 SOC that powered the DS115j has been replaced by a 64-bit dual core Marvell Armada 3700 88F3720, clocked at the same speed as the 370 – 800MHz. The processor in the new DiskStation 119j is a step up from the one in the DS115j. It sports an updated 64-bit processor, has a hardware encryption engine built in and costs less than £100. Synol ogy's entry-level single drive NAS, the DiskStation DS115j, has been soldiering on for quite some time but now a new entry-level single disk model has arrived, the DiskStation DS119j.
