Have you ever wondered how to keep your Synology NAS safe and sound? Well, I’ve got a great idea for you! Kensington cable locks were originally designed to secure laptops, but they’re also a simple and affordable way to physically secure your NAS too. So In this video, we’ll show you how to use the Kensington slot on the back of your Synology NAS to lock it down to a specific location.
As a Kensington lock is only a very simple security system, designed to deter a theft of opportunity. If physical security is a major concern, you would be better advised to also lock your NAS away in a secure location.
Note: While Kensington were the original creators of these computer cable locks. Other cables also exist which are just as good. You will also find that there are numerous locking mechanisms, however we recommend buying a lock and key system over a combo lock system. The reason for this is that if you lose the key, you can order a replacement key from the manufacture, as long as you have registered your lock.
