Tailor-made for the home environment, DS119j only consumes 5.01W in HDD hibernation mode, and 10.0W under full operation – a laptop can consume upwards of 45W. Furthermore, its noise dampening design makes it whisper-quiet compared to some PC counterparts.

DS119j also serves as a home multimedia server. Users can share photos to friends, or stream music and video files to mobile devices or multimedia players.

DS119j runs on DiskStation Manager, an OS for the company’s NAS devices, with various applications offered to enhance work productivity.
