"There are many users who are not familiar with a NAS yet, nor are aware of the benefits of having one at home," said Michael Wang, product manager at Synology Inc. "DS119j is aimed to be an ideal choice for first-time NAS users with versatile software features, an intuitive user interface, and an affordable price point."

Tailor-made for the home environment, the DS119j only consumes 5.01 watts in hard drive hibernation mode, and 10.04 watts under full operation – a laptop can consume upwards of 45 watts. Furthermore, its noise dampening design makes it whisper-quiet when compared to some PC counterparts.

The DS119j also serves as a home multimedia server. Users can easily share photos with friends, or stream music and video files to mobile devices or multimedia players.

The DS119j runs on DiskStation Manager, the advanced and intuitive operating system for Synology NAS devices, with various applications offered that enhance work productivity. Synology has received numerous media accolades, including topping the mid-range NAS category in TechTarget's storage solution survey and winning PC Mag Readers' Choice seven years in a row.
