The plug and play personal cloud lineup at Synology gets a new hive mate, the BeeStation Plus.
This latest addition to the BeeStation lineup comes with 8 TB of storage and up to 4.8x the performance, BeeStation Plus gives families, creative teams, and professionals the freedom to access, organise, and enjoy their digital world—without missing a beat.
“The BeeStation lineup was designed to let everyday users benefit from a cloud-like environment without needing advanced storage or networking knowledge,” said Mayi, Product Manager at Synology. “Since launching the first BeeStation, we’ve seen strong interest from people looking for larger storage capacity and expanded capabilities, to run more applications and better support families and teams working and sharing together. BeeStation Plus is our answer to those needs.”
DRN reviewed the original offering bask in March 2024 and we were entirely sold on it with some complaints. You can read the details here.
Based on the specs of the BeeStation Plus, it seems at least some of the pain points particularly around performance has been addressed.
