I much prefer the old x systems as I have worked with them for a while. The ds series is much faster and more reliable. Servicing it is simple but some internal components require more involvement.

It works very well for essential data storage such as security footage. It is well suited for remote office storage, but not so much as large database storage.

Cons
Lenovo
  • There are a lot of xclarity tools that need to be condensed.
  • I would like to see the old IMM interface return as the new management interface is not as easy to use.
  • Replacing some of the internal components is more involved than it used to be.
