Synology BeeStation Plus 4 TB - Personal Cloud Storage, Black

The Synology BeeStation Plus NAS (BST170-4T) is a desktop personal cloud storage device that comes with a pre-installed 4 TB SSD. It acts as a private alternative to public cloud services, allowing you to centralise photos, documents, and system backups. Designed for home and home office environments, the device supports up to eight individual user accounts with dedicated private spaces. Data transfers via a single Gigabit Ethernet port at speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s. It also functions as a central backup target for computers and cloud-connected storage accounts.

The unit uses passive cooling for silent operation, as it contains no internal fans. It is powered by an external adapter and features a physical on/off switch. Management is handled via a web interface, which is compatible with major browsers including Google Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. The device supports computers running Windows 10 or 11, as well as macOS 12.3 and later. The interface is available in multiple languages, and status LEDs indicate the system's operational state.
