Yep, same, it's even a 1522+! I had some concerns going in, but had a good prior experience with a 216j that someone gave me for free (I still rate the 216j as a small RAID1 box). I heard the spiel that the Synology DSM OS was worth it, but honestly it has shortcomings, uses old technology and is not very adaptable. Fine if you just want to plug and play, but next time I'm going back to Proxmox and will give TrueNAS a go.
