Synology DiskStation DS223 8TB HDD - Network Attached Storage, Black

The Synology DiskStation DS223 is a 2-bay NAS designed for home and small office networks. This model comes with two pre-installed hard drives providing 8TB of total storage. It is powered by a Realtek RTD1619B quad-core 1.7 GHz processor and 2GB of DDR4 RAM. The device connects to the network via a 1 GbE RJ45 port. You can configure the drives in RAID 0, RAID 1, or JBOD modes to balance data mirroring with storage capacity. The Btrfs file system supports snapshots, which allow for point-in-time data recovery.

A 92mm fan manages cooling and operates at 14.6 dB.

Security features include HTTPS, SSH, and Access Control List permissions for user management. The unit uses an external 60 W adapter and consumes 17.343 W during typical operation.
