Manufacturer's product description
DS207 is designed with Windows ADS authentication, USB printer sharing, dynamic website hosting, and data backup. The ultra-high-density file storing capability gives business users the freedom to store twice as much data. With the RAID 0/1 protection, DS207 can further prevent data loss from inevitable disaster. DS207 provides speedy data transmission and powerful computing capability, which is not only suitable for small business environments that demand on efficiency, but also a great choice for power users who massively access data on the server. ADS DS207 is compatible with Windows ADS and NT4 domain. Windows domain users are able to access data shared from DS207 when they pass the Active Directory authentication. This will greatly save your time on creating large amount of accounts for the domain users. DS207 is the first 2-bay model of the Synology Disk Station series. You can create a large-capacity RAID 0 or reliable RAID 1 volume on DS207. For budget-sensitive users, DS207 allows using one hard drive to create a Non-RAID volume, and upgrading it to RAID 1 at a later time when the second hard drive is added. When the hard drive on DS207 is full, you can expand more storage simply by attaching an external hard drive to the USB port or eSATA port of DS207. Encrypted FTP allows you to transmit data using "FTP over SSL" or "FTP over TLS" option. HTTPS support encrypts all HTTP connections with SSL transport mechanism. Encrypted Network Backup ensures Network Backup is done with encrypted data transmission. You won't be worried about critical data being exposed in danger. DS207 is designed for Windows users and Mac users to share files seamlessly. Windows users can access DS207 via Samba and FTP, and Mac users via Samba, FTP, and AFP. Unicode support allows sharing files smoothly in different languages. Accessing files stored on a NAS server will no longer be limited to the LAN. Web File Manager allows you to download and upload files on DS207 using a web browser. Without routing through your desktop, it also reduces your time to move files from a folder to another. Web Station runs Apache web server that allows you to establish dynamic website with only few steps. With pre-installed PHP+MySQL, you are free to install popular blog or bulletin board programs on DS207. No advanced IT knowledge is required to build up your personal community. Data backup is so important but people tend to ignore it, DS207 makes data backup so complete and automatic that backup always be done without your attention. You can always find the backup alternatives that fit your needs. Network Backup is designed for you to back up data from DS207 to another Synology product that also supports the Network Backup function. Local Backup allows you to back up data from DS207 to external hard drive attached to DS207 via the USB port or eSATA port. USBCopy is extremely convenient for you to back up data from USB flash drive to DS207. The backup only takes one touch on the Copy button; you don't need to log on to the management page to finish the backup. Desktop Backup simplifies desktop backup with Synology Data Replicator II. PC users will enjoy the easy-to-use backup tool to back up important data automatically. DS207 has a brand new enclosure design. The elegant white cover, good ventilation airflow, and quiet fan operation, bring DS207 to a new level of Synology Disk Station series.
Advantages: Compact Disadvantages: Small 1.44MB storage space

NOTE THIS IS ABOUT ALL FLOPPY DISKS - NOT JUST THESE ONES
Floppy disks are compact
Floppy disks were good in the 1980's
However floppy disks are not very useful unless you want to transport very small files
Most, if not all floppy disks have a 'massive' 1.44MB storage space (1.37MB formatted)
The speed of writing on the disk is ridiculous - taking up to a minute or more to transfer 1.37MB of files onto the disk, and the write enable tab can easily be removed or broken, as well as the metal protection cover can also easily be broken off.
Reading from the disk is also slow taking many seconds to read any file, even a 20KB word document, and the data on the disks are likely to get corrupted.
Floppy disks are very easily damaged and become unusable, even after formatting the disk...

Advantages: Small, easy to use, re-writable, reliable, extra caps, neck strap Disadvantages: Might be too small, needs an extention cord for a desktop computer, still relatively expensive
...Have you ever needed to copy information from one computer to another when you didn't have a CD burner and the documents were too large for a floppy disk? One solution is to buy a CD or DVD burner drive. But those burners sometimes make errors, which you'll often discover only when its too late. Moreover, unless you're burning on a re-writeable disk, if you make a mistake you've wasted both the CD and the time it took to burn it. Plus, those CDs aren't quite as durable as we were led to believe. A scratch in the wrong place and your files will be unreadable. Finally, you don't always need 700mb (or more) of storage every time you want to take a bunch of files from one computer to another – so again, burning a couple of files onto a CD seems wasteful. But now there's a new solution - USB storage. My boss bought two different kinds...

...You're copying a bunch of documents from your computer onto a 3.5" floppy disk. All is well, you see the sheets of paper flying across and the progress bar moving along nicely but then suddenly *BEEP*. A small window pops up saying your disk is full!
A standard floppy diskette these days can only store 1.44MegaBytes (or 1,044KiloBytes) of data. Sometimes, it's not even enough for a single document these days, especially if there are pictures inside. Now imagine a disk that gives you 128MB of data. That's the same as 88.89 floppy diskettes! Yes, you've guess it (if you bothered guessing that is). The product I'm reviewing is a flash disk. Also known as pen drives, USB drives, flash drives, memory sticks, travelling disks, jump drives, etc. These are basically disks that plug into your computer via USB and act like a drive. Kind...
