Synology has a history of making excellent NAS boxes, and the new four bay DS410j is no exception. Front and center on the spec sheet is support for Apple’s Time Machine backup system, a rarity on third-party NAS units.
The unit is designed for home and entry-level business use. The four drive bays can take up to 2TB 3.5 inch drives. The DS410j also supports multiple RAID configurations when loaded with multiple compatible drives. Automated backup and DNLA support come standard as well. The DS410j can be purchased with or without hard drives preinstalled, but either way it’s going to be pricey. If you look around, the driveless version can be had for a bit under $400.

Too bad it's ugly as sin... Synology has some great products, but needs a new designer! It's reminiscent of my Commodore 64 for some reason!

We are extremely excited to be releasing the DS410j.
I think that you and your readers will find it quite easy to configure Time Machine backups using DSM2.2. If you are interested to see how easy it is to set up, please see our wiki article detailing this.
