I liked what Synology did with the BeeStation; it delivered an easier-to-use network storage product that makes it easier for those looking to store photos and documents in a centralized location. WD's My Cloud catered to this category for close to a decade, so it was good to see Synology coming up with a rival.
The brand showcased the BeeStation Plus with 8TB of storage at the start of the year, and the model is now available globally. You can buy it for $459 on Amazon in the U.S. (with deliveries starting June 10), and it is selling for £386 in the U.K. via the brand's website. To put things into context, the regular BeeStation with 4TB storage is available for $219, so you're basically paying double.
