Review: Great Cloud Storage Device - This is a great backup device for simplicity. The instructions are extremely clear into how to set everything up with scanning a QR code. Everyone complaining that they can't get the device to work is likely just impatient from the slightly long initial startup time. This additionally works with Mas OS Sequoia. Everything was seamless during the update. If someone says it doesn't work with an OS update, they likely did something else to cause their issue. The BeePhotos and BeeFiles app are great. BeeFiles is similar to google drive, where it can sync to a folder on your device. BeePhotos is basically a toned down version of google photos. There is unfortunately no dark mode on these apps. It is extremely easy to share files and albums between users. My one complaint is the link will open up the album in the web, versus in the beephotos or beestation app. Hopefully this will get addressed, but it is not a huge issue. Time Machine works great, which is the primary reason I got this machine. While this doesn't work with a Plex Server, you can view the files locally on a device and a tool, such as VLC and such. This is useful for viewing home videos and photos. The one downside to this device is that it only runs off 1 drive, where many NAS drives will have 2-bays. I recently purchased an external drive to act as a backup device so I don't solely rely on the beestation and the one drive. I will try and update my review after I report how my solution works. Review: Use advance settings for local access and toggle on SMB Service for Time Machine backups. - It's easy to set up to replace our Time Capsule. Getting the BeeSation tuned on and updated takes a bit, I used my iPhone. Just wait a while, and the flashing white light will turn orange. Afterwards, the update takes a while, but you will see the progress on the app on your phone. I had to do a couple of searches to find out why the settings for Time Machine settings could not find the BeeStation. Here is the guide to set it up. After you create your BeeStation Portal log in. (I used the Apple Account choice) On your Mac log into your account in the browser. Hover over your BeeStation, click the icon at the upper-right corner, and select System Settings. Advanced Settings > Local Access. Enable Local Account. After you have set up a local account, toggle to enable SMB Service located below the Local Account section. Restart your Mac, and afterward, in the Time Machine settings, you can locate your BeeStation for backup. It backs up much faster on the BeeStation than on the Time Capsule. Attaching an external USB drive to the BeeStation is just plugging the drive into the USB port. Storage is great for two MacBook Airs. Set up is easy once you know how to have your Mac see the BeeStation. The App and the web browser settings are pretty simple. The BeeStation is much smaller than the Time Capsule with a lot more storage. ## Features - Scan a QR code to begin—no storage or network expertise required - Store, access, and share files over the web, or from your desktop or mobile devices - Share storage with family and friends so everyone has their own personalized storage space - Edit files on BeeStation from your desktop while keeping your progress synced across computers - Back up files from Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and external drives to one central place ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CSSR38F1 | | Additional Features | Scan a QR code to begin-no storage or network expertise required | | Best Sellers Rank | #39 in Computer Network Attached Storage | | Brand | Synology | | Built-In Media | Synology BeeStation BST150-4T 4TB Personal Cloud Storage Device | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, Smartphone, Tablet | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 267 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 600 Megabytes Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 4 TB | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Form Factor | 2.5-inch | | Hard Disk Description | Synology BeeStation BST150-4T 4TB Personal Cloud Storage Device | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard-Drive Size | 4 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | Ethernet | | Installation Type | Not Specified | | Manufacturer | Synology | | Media Speed | 559 megabits_per_second | | Mfr Part Number | BST150-4T | | Model Number | BST150-4T | | Number of Items | 1 | | Special Feature | Scan a QR code to begin-no storage or network expertise required | | Specific Uses For Product | Multi-Purpose | | UPC | 846504005314 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 3 years | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Synology - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Metal - **Product Dimensions:** 4.53"D x 10.16"W x 9.92"H - **Size:** 4.53x10.16x9.92 inches ## Images ![Synology BeeStation 4TB Personal Cloud Storage Device (BST150-4T) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61L4dk7n6YL.jpg) ![Synology BeeStation 4TB Personal Cloud Storage Device (BST150-4T) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IYYnUtWJL.jpg) ![Synology BeeStation 4TB Personal Cloud Storage Device (BST150-4T) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71A-FdHYNdL.jpg) ![Synology BeeStation 4TB Personal Cloud Storage Device (BST150-4T) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MTKQaGUmL.jpg) ![Synology BeeStation 4TB Personal Cloud Storage Device (BST150-4T) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/511O6rVgl9L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Cloud Storage Device *by A***R on May 7, 2024* This is a great backup device for simplicity.

However, I am highly technical in nature and have had a lot of experience with day-to-day dealings with computers and their interface due to the line of our work. Specifically as it relates here I have used WDCloud devices over the years and their setup was easily done. Their problem is that they have been phasing out their NAS product line. I needed something this time to host family photos and videos. I needed something that was just a 2TB to 4TB setup to be used locally here in the home to access family media through the local home network. Synology lists their product as easily setup. I beg to differ what they define as "setup". Upon opening the box you see a tiny setup card which simply guides you on how to physically setup the device with two methods to "Start Using BeeStation". One was Scan QR code and the other through their online portal. I used the online portal. The device easily and quickly connected to their network and all they did at that time is to declare that the device was "ready to use". Went all downhill from there. I could see from the online portal the drive and could transfer files via the Internet. However, I wanted a drive that was mapped to my computer for more of a direct connection rather than relying on the cloud. No mention was made anywhere from this process that other utilities should be used to effect this connection such as "Synology Assistant" and "BeeStation for Desktop". I had to find these via AI searches troubleshooting mapping the drive to my computer network. I get what they are trying to do as an end result but getting to that point is terrible and I was willing to work to see this through and work within their parameters. However getting this to connect to my network proved to be totally unsuccessful. No matter what I did I could not make a connection. I could see the drive in my system but could not see let alone access any of the folders to transfer files. The drive had been setup with credentials for online access and other credentials for local access. No matter what I did I could not gain local access despite 6+ hours of troubleshooting and using the two previously identified utilities from Synology. I rarely have returns to Amazon but this one is being returned today. I total waste of my time this weekend. I cannot imaging what a nontechnical person goes through in this setup unless all they do is rely on access via the cloud. I need local access as the first option. Terrible. P.S. I would give it a 0 star rating if I could but I had to select at least 1 star to submit. ## Frequently Bought Together - Synology BeeStation 4TB Personal Cloud Storage Device (BST150-4T) Black - TP-Link TL-SG105, 5 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch, Network Hub, Ethernet Splitter, Plug & Play, Fanless Metal Design, Shielded Ports, Traffic Optimization,Navy Blue - TP-Link TL-SG108 8 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Network Switch, Ethernet Splitter Plug & Play Fanless Metal Design Shielded Ports Traffic Optimization --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/604505243-synology-beestation-4tb-personal-cloud-storage-device-bst150-4t](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/604505243-synology-beestation-4tb-personal-cloud-storage-device-bst150-4t) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
