Tips

For optimal performance, connect the DS124 to a gigabit router and use Synology's QuickConnect for secure remote access without complex network configuration. Consider setting up scheduled backups to protect against ransomware and accidental deletion. The included 4TB drive is ideal for storing documents, photos, and media, but you can expand capacity later by replacing it with a larger compatible drive.
