The DS212 has just had a large price drop in view of DS213.

Thanks bigboss. Are they easy to install. Will I have to format them or do something similar?

RE: Synology DS212 NAS £190.97

What do you want to use the NAS for? For general purpose, the DS212J is enough, & you can save more money:

Formatting is not required. Check this video for installation instructions:
