NAS Synology DS413j is considered to be a perfect solution for home-based platforms. Its elaborated performance provides for fast and efficient completion of any set task, while its loud design might become an embellishment for any home system. Unlike other NAS solutions developed by Synology, DS413j is controlled by an updated software complex DSM 4.1 that features a range of innovations useful for individual and corporate customers.



Design and Ergonomics


NAS Synology DS413j is a four-disk storage station, housed in a white patent plastic with a gray stuffing on the clipboard. The rear panel is removable as it serves a basic means for the installation of disk drives. The frontal panel contains six LED indicators which signify about the activity of network interface, emerging errors, disk drive operation. Large 'Power' button is located in the central part; the upper and lower parts of the panel are alloted for ventilation grids.

While prices for RAM memory rise, Chinese semiconductor makers are forced to intensify at producing their own DRAM chipsets. A short while ago the Xi’an UniIC Semiconductors company began to accept orders for certain DDR4 mem modules and microchips, which made this vendor the first Chinese chipset manufacturer, producing DRAM of this type in its home country.



Among its products Xi’an UniIC Semiconductors offers 4 GB and 8 GB DDR4 memory modules, performed in the DIMM and SO-DIMM form factors, as well as DIMM modules of 4 GB capacity, supporting ECC. All the devices are aimed at operation at the 1.2 V voltage in the DDR4-2133 mode, and feature CL15 delay time.

 

One ought to remember, though, these DDR4 modules are destined for internal market and currently it’s not clear if they will go further. Anyway, a new entrant at the DDR4 memory market should improve the situation with the RAM kits and modules retail pricing.
