Synology’s DS220j NAS has long been one of the best options on the market for getting started with always-on storage, and today it’s a more affordable option, too. Courtesy of Woot, the DiskStation DS220j now sells for $108.99 Prime shipped. Delivery will run you an extra $6 otherwise. Today’s offer may be on the now previous-generation model but it’s now an even better value for getting started with always-on storage. It originally sold for $190 and is now down to a new all-time low. We last saw it on sale for $155.
As one of the more entry-level offers in the Synology stable, its DS220j NAS arrives with two hard drive bays and support for up to 32TB of storage. Ideal for everything from configuring a routine backup server, playing around with smart home services like Home Assistant, and more, there’s a 1.4GHz processor and single Gigabit Ethernet port to deliver 112MB/s speeds.
