NAS for OSX Lion

[cathy88]

Hi guys,

I currently own a Macpower Pleiades Gigalan NAS which used to work perfectly for up to Snow Leopard. After upgrading to OSX Lion I realised I can no longer connect to it. Simply it wont show up on the finder side bar anymore due to the change in protocol. Unfortunately Macpower is not providing any firmware update for this.

Currently looking at buying a new NAS and have looked at the Snyology DS212j. My question is does this one work with OSX Lion?

My requirement is basic I want:
1. Able to connect to it via OSX Lion through the finder side bar (I used to use SMB)
2. Possibly have Timemachine

Thanks

I have a DS211 that works perfectly with Lion, so the DS212j should not have any issues. Just make sure you're using the latest firmware update.

Get a Synology...
I went through same issues with Lacie product and finally had to just get rid of it as Lacie would not step up and address the incompatibility with OSX Lion via firmware. Loving the Synology, works great is fast and can use it with time machine.

Synology supports Lion including Time Machine. I have a DS212j excellent.

Thanks guys.

Im most likely going to get it then. One more question is it a waste if I buy the DS212J and I dont use raid? I.e. I will have 2x2tb = 4tb total space rather then mirroring for backup?

Should I just buy 2 single slots?

Thanks
