“The DS215j and the DS115 were delayed in Q4 due to the west coast dock issues, and with this behind us, we’ve seen a lot of demand for these new models, and we’re really excited to see them available in the US and soon in Canada,” said Jason Bonoan, product marketing manager, Synology.

The DiskStations are powered by a dual-core processor with Floating-Point Unit (FPU) that unlocks its power in multitasking and multimedia processing. The platform upgrade enables the DS215j to deliver average read speeds over 111MB/s and average writes over 87MB/s, a 19% gain in writing compared with its predecessor, while keeping its power consumption at 13.4 watts in operation and 5.3 watts when HDDs hibernate. The addition of the USB 3.0 interface boosts its file transfer speeds.

By leveraging Surveillance Station, the DS215j is a network video recorder. It supports up to 10 channels of simultaneous high-definition footage streaming at 240 FPS in 720p. The DS215j comes with 2 free IP camera licenses and supports up to 10 cameras, making it a surveillance solution for homes and small offices.

The DS215j runs on DiskStation Manager (DSM) 5.1, an OS that provides a host of applications to bring  productivity at work and offer a level of multimedia experience.
