The Synology DS225+ NAS is a compact network-attached storage (NAS) server designed for home use, remote work, or small businesses. Paired with two 8 TB hard drives configured in RAID 1, it allows you to centralize, share, and secure data over a local network or via the Internet.
Product Description
The Synology DS225+ is a 2-bay NAS enclosure that supports installing 3.5" or 2.5" SATA hard drives or SSDs. It runs on the DiskStation Manager (DSM) system, which offers numerous applications for backup, file sharing, cloud synchronization, and video surveillance.
In this configuration, the NAS comes with two 8 TB hard drives configured in RAID 1. This mode automatically duplicates data across both drives: if one fails, the files remain available on the other, ensuring better data security.
