		Hi, can the Synology DS223J NAS be connected direct to a MacBook Pro through a usb hub? I don’t have connectivity to a network currently & wish to use as daily storage & back up? 
Thanks

		Unfortunately, the Synology DS223J NAS cannot be directly connected to a MacBook Pro through a USB hub. The DS223J is designed to be connected to a network, either wired or wirelessly, to access its storage and backup features.
