Synology DiskStation DS725+ - Network Attached Storage, Black

The Synology DiskStation DS725+ is a desktop NAS designed to centralize data management for homes and small offices. It runs the DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system, which handles file sharing, backups, and storage virtualization. The unit is powered by an AMD Ryzen Embedded R1600 dual-core processor, clocked at 2.6 GHz with a 3.1 GHz boost. It includes 4 GB of DDR4 ECC memory to detect and correct single-bit errors. For network connectivity, the device provides two 2.5GbE RJ-45 ports; two internal M.2 slots allow for NVMe caching or additional storage pools to boost I/O performance.

The black desktop chassis features an active cooling system with a 92 mm fan, resulting in an operating noise level of 17.9 dB. The drive bays support 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA HDDs and SSDs and are hot-swappable for easier maintenance. Data arrays can be configured using RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, or JBOD, depending on the required balance between capacity and redundancy. External connectivity is provided by a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port, while supported network protocols include SMB, NFS, iSCSI, and FTP. Power is supplied via an external 65 W adapter, with typical power consumption at 20.41 W. The web-based management interface supports up to 512 concurrent connections and detailed access control list (ACL) permissions. Integrated backup tools include cloud service synchronization and iSCSI LUN snapshots to protect against data loss.
