It isn’t just the capacity either, with some...

NAS Compares Synology BeeStation Hard Drive Upgrade – A Step By Step Guide

How to Upgrade the Hard Drive in Your BeeStation Why Would You want to change the hard drive in the Synology Beestation? Whether you are an existing owner of the Synology Beestation or a potential NAS buyer who is considering moving away from public cloud services onto your own personal cloud, the Beestastion and BSM provide a fantastically user-friendly alternative to the Synology Diskstation and DSM solutions that the brand has been releasing for almost 25 years.
