I have worked with Synology units for a long time. There should be no problem at all with the air.

Word of wisdom. Don't buy the 1 drive unit. if you can, don't buy the j unit as they processor inside of them is just too underpowered and you will find that it bogs down with any of the other apps that you can run with the unit.

I have 2 of the DS209 (that is equivalent to the DS212j). It works fine as a single client interface. but get 2 or 3 people hitting it for larger files and it gets slow.

I upgraded to the DS412+ that has a quad core intel atom processor inside of it and I get blazingly fast speeds from my mac, along with multiple others hitting the unit such as streaming audio, video to my 3 media centers in the house.

My suggestion is buy once and buy big. It costs less to get a bit bigger and you'll be surprised how your data storage grows to fit all available disk space.
