Synology DiskStation DS223j 2-Bay Desktop NAS for Home Office and Small Teams

Synology, Inc. announced its 2-bay DiskStation DS223j NAS, its latest system in the entry-level J Series, designed to meet the needs of home office and small teams.

Using the company’s DiskStation Manager (DSM), the DS223j features a host of options and applications for everyday storage and management, including file syncing and sharing, backup, and video surveillance.

“The DS223j is an excellent NAS for small environments, be they home offices or even a bit larger,” said Michael Wang, product manager. “With the DS223j, customers get energy-efficient hardware coupled with all the data management and protection tools they’ll need to effectively manage their files.“

Create private cloud
The DS223j supports up to 36TB of raw storage, ⁽¹⁾ making it an option for small teams to consolidate their data onto a single platform for safe and easy access. It is powered by the DSM OS, which includes a multitude of backup, file sharing, and syncing applications that can be used to enhance remote work and collaboration.

Files can be managed securely, anytime and anywhere, using cross-device access, and with the included Synology Photos app users can back up, share, and organize their photos using intelligent management tools. Compared with its predecessors, the DS223j can handle more demanding tasks and a greater number of simultaneous users. Experience more than 180% faster file indexing in Synology Drive and over 200% faster image indexing in Synology Photos.

With the release of DSM 7.2 NAS OS, expected in late spring, the DS223j will be the 1st J-series NAS to support the Btrfs file system. This enables file self-healing to mitigate data corruption, as well as Snapshot Replication feature. By creating frequent point-in-time snapshots, users can reverse unwanted and accidental file changes.

Keep files in sync
Synology Drive allows users to share and sync files across their PCs, Macs, and mobile devices from anywhere in the world, helping teams spread across different time zones ensure their workflow stays smooth and productive.

The DS223j can also integrate with public cloud service providers, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive, enabling users to save files to and from 3rd-party cloud drives and retain true data ownership. Learn more about Synology Drive
