Synology Introduces DiskStation DS425+ 4-Bay Desktop NAS

Synology, Inc. announced the launch of the DS425+ desktop NAS, a compact 4-bay storage solution.

“The DS425+ offers remarkable performance and capability for its size,” said Michael Wang, product manager, Synology. “They are an ideal choice for users with specific storage needs who still want the benefits of centralized storage.”

The 4-bay DS425+ provides a fixed storage configuration of up to 80TB of raw data, for smaller-scale deployments with consistent storage requirements. For network connectivity, the DS425+ features a 2.5GbE port along with a 1GbE RJ-45 port. Additionally, it supports M.2 NVMe SSDs for either SSD caching or high-performance all-flash.

DS425+ is engineered as a full-featured system to deliver consistent performance and reliability with Synology hard drives. It follows a carefully curated drive compatibility framework, backed by over 7,000 hours of rigorous testing. To ensure optimal integration and long-term dependability, DSM on the DS425+ requires compatible hard drives (*) for installation.
