Synology DiskStation DS225+ 2-Bay NAS Enclosure

Synology DiskStation DS225+ 2-Bay NAS Enclosure

Built with a quad-core processor, a hardware encryption engine, and Btrfs file system support, the DiskStation DS225+ 2-Bay NAS Enclosure from Synology is a compact NAS designed to centralize data management, offering a comprehensive suite of tools through Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) for managing, sharing, and protecting files and photos, backing up devices and data, and serving as the core of a smart surveillance system. The DS225+ is equipped with two drive bays that are capable of natively supporting 3.5" SATA hard drives as well as 2.5" SATA hard drives and SSDs. Using its two drive bays, this NAS will allow you to store and share a large number of files with multiple user accounts.

The DS225+ runs on Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) OS, which is a browser-based operating system that helps to simplify managing your Synology NAS. Its CPU is a 2.0 GHz Intel Celeron J4125 Quad-Core with a burst frequency of up to 2.7 GHz, and its 2GB of DDR4 RAM, which can be upgraded to 6GB, allows frequently used files and applications to be quickly accessed.

Also featured are two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports for connecting external devices, and network connectivity is achieved via the 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports that support link aggregation and failover, allowing your stored data to be shared with users throughout the network. Data may also be made remotely available through the free iOS and Android applications. For those who require RAID support, the DS225+ supports RAID 0 and 1, as well Synology Hybrid RAID and Basic RAID, each of which offers performance, data redundancy, or a combination of both. For those who do not require a RAID, JBOD is also available, allowing each drive bay to be individually utilized.

The DS225+ is engineered to be energy efficient. It features a 92 x 92mm fan that keeps the system running cool at all times with quiet operations. The server supports numerous scheduled power on/off cycles and hard drive hibernation to further minimize power consumption and operation expenses.

The Synology DiskStation DS225+ 2-Bay NAS Enclosure operates on 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz and includes an accessory pack, an AC power adapter, an AC power cord, and two RJ45 LAN cables. It is protected by a limited 3-year warranty.
