No way that I know of. To start, I imagine you'd have to get a BIOS on it.
I agree. And own a DS212 that's great.Why would you want to?
One of the biggest selling points is DSM.

What's the advantage of a cron script for tar files over the Synology app for backup/restore or Synology's "time backup" (time machine) ?Synology beats you over the head about backing up but tells you nothing about TAR and how easy it is to back up a RAID set to a spare drive. I'm still doing that manually because I have not written a cron shell script.
A cron script running tar runs in the context of the server. With crin and tar you have maximum flexibility of you schedule. My plan is do a "full" backup once a week (or whatever). I have full control over where the file will be placed and what it will be called. I can control home many back copies I want to keep.What's the advantage of a cron script for tar files over the Synology app for backup/restore or Synology's "time backup" (time machine) ?
A synopsis:... I haven't studied Synology backup solutions, but I was under the impression they ran on the client.
Synology does torrent and some others, as a background process. I assume QNAP does too.
I know a lot of them do it, but I'm looking for one that can chug down like 25 torrents at the same speed my PC can..
I concur.Certainly it will work, but the nice GUI for the Synology apps is appealing. And the Time Machine app on the synology is great.
not sure if you know about transmission and another torrent client you can run on the synology:
