Synology DiskStation DS925+ 16 TB - Network Attached Storage, Black

The Synology DiskStation DS925+ is a 4-bay desktop NAS with 16TB of pre-installed storage, designed for centralized file management and multi-user access. It runs on an AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B quad-core processor at 2.2 GHz to handle data transfers and concurrent requests. This hardware supports automated backups and cross-platform synchronization across local networks. Data protection is handled by the DiskStation Manager operating system, which supports Synology Hybrid RAID alongside standard RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10. The device is intended for small IT environments that require data availability without the complexity of a full server rack.

For network connectivity, the unit features two 2.5GbE Ethernet ports that support Link Aggregation for increased throughput and redundancy. It comes with 4 GB of DDR4 ECC SODIMM memory to detect and correct data errors, with the option to expand the total RAM to 32 GB via two slots. Two M.2 2280 NVMe slots are available for SSD caching or high-performance storage volumes. Active cooling is provided by two 92 mm fans, which maintain operating temperatures while keeping noise levels to 20.5 dB. The chassis includes two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports for peripherals, while integrated drive bay locks and a Kensington security slot provide physical protection for the installed drives.

• AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B processor: includes eight threads for handling concurrent background processes and multi-user workloads.
• Dual 2.5GbE ports: offer more bandwidth than standard gigabit Ethernet for faster local file transfers.
• Hot-swappable drive bays: support 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch SATA drives, allowing for maintenance without system downtime.
• Integrated M.2 2280 NVMe slots: enable SSD caching to improve responsiveness for frequently accessed data.
• Error Correction Code (ECC) memory: identifies and fixes single-bit data errors to maintain system stability.
• Snapshot-based protection: allows for point-in-time recovery to mitigate the impact of accidental deletions or file changes.
• Energy-efficient design: consumes 37.91 W during operation, suitable for 24/7 storage needs.
• Multi-file system and iSCSI support: ensures compatibility with Btrfs, ext4, and various virtualization environments.
