## 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+.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ シンプルかつ充実したサービスが魅力の安定NAS
*by H***O on December 5, 2025*

人生で初めて導入したNASが突然一切通信不能になってしまい「HDDは壊れてないのに実質データを消失する」という悲しい目に合う羽目に…。ちゃんと安定したのが欲しいと強く思い選んだのがこちらのNAS。 最初のNASは導入時点でHDDが2台入っていましたが、こちらはHDDは別売りのためNAS用のHDDを合わせて購入しました。 ハードウェア設定には少し手数を要しますが、付属のマニュアルが丁寧なのでその通りに進めればOK。私はデータ保護に重きを置きたかったのでRAID1構成にしましたが、他にもいくつか構成を選択できます。最終的にNAS内に専用のOSをインストールして無事導入完了しました。 NAS内のOSにはブラウザを通してアクセスでき、様々な設定を行えます。一方でNASの主目的であるバックアップを行うにはバックアップ元のOSにクライアント用ソフトを入れる必要があります。私はWindowsとUbuntu両方にソフトを入れ、特定フォルダを毎日定期バックアップしています。ソフトを通して現在のバックアップ状況やログの閲覧など行えるので便利です。何か起きた際にはNAS内OSに設定したメールアドレスに報告が飛びます。家のネットワークの調子が悪い時に一度メールが届き、クライアントソフトを通して手動で再バックアップを取る事ができました。 NASを通してやりたい事がNAS内のOS用に提供されているパッケージで実現できるので、シンプルに使いたい人はシンプルに、色々凝りたい人はパッケージをドンドン導入して豪華にと、使う人の技量や要求に合わせた使い方ができるのが素晴らしいです。UIも非常に丁寧に作られていて、使い手にちゃんと目が向いているのが良く分かります。 導入して本当に良かったと心から思える製品でした！

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ OS, ソフトウェアがこなれていて使いやすい
*by A***R on December 9, 2025*

他社製品と迷いましたが、他の方のレビューなど参考にして購入。満足しています。OS, ソフトウェアがこなれていて使いやすいです。（一部わかりずらい所もありますが、Web情報で補完。）個人利用では満足感高いのではないでしょうか。自分の反省ですが、購入前に何を実現したいか目的を再確認し、ベイの数、HDDかSSDか、RAIDとバックアップの構成は何が適切か、をもっと考えておけば良かった。（無理にSSDにしなくともHDDで速度、信頼性も十分だった。）

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ド安定NAS
*by K***O on January 7, 2026*

1年以上使ってるが対応ドライブさえ使っていれば何の問題もなし。非常に安定していて良い製品。当初は非対応SSD使ってトラブルがあったが、自己責任と考えている。 なお、メモリがもう少しあったらdockerなどで色々動かしてということも可能だが、1GBではやれることは限られるので留意すると良いと思う。
