The Synology “Plus” Series

The “Plus” series from Synology represents the ideal balance of performance, versatility, and scalability, targeting prosumers, enthusiasts, and small to medium-sized businesses. These models are equipped with more powerful processors and expandable memory compared to the entry-level J series, enabling them to handle more demanding tasks like running virtual machines, hosting business applications, and supporting a larger number of concurrent users. With features like M.2 NVMe SSD cache support and the ability to connect expansion units, the Plus series provides a clear growth path, ensuring your initial investment continues to deliver value as your data needs evolve.

What’s New: DS1825+ vs. DS1821+

The Synology DS1825+ builds upon the success of the DS1821+ with targeted upgrades for modern IT environments. It retains the powerful AMD Ryzen V1500B processor but improves networking capabilities by replacing the four 1GbE ports of the previous model with two standard 2.5GbE LAN ports. This provides a faster baseline for network traffic. More importantly, the DS1825+ features a more capable

PCIe 3.0 x8 slot (with an x4 link) , offering greater flexibility for adding higher-bandwidth networking cards, including support for 10GbE SFP+/RJ-45 and even 25GbE SFP28 adapters, making it more adaptable for future network infrastructure upgrades.

Optimised for Synology Drives

For the best possible performance, stability, and longevity, it is highly recommended to populate your DS1825+ with Synology-validated drives, such as the HAT5300 series enterprise HDDs or SAT5200 series SSDs. These drives are specifically engineered and rigorously tested to work seamlessly with Synology’s hardware and DSM operating system. This tight integration ensures that the drives and the NAS can communicate perfectly, unlocking peak performance and providing enhanced monitoring and maintenance features that are not available with third-party drives.

The Synology Drive Advantage

Choosing Synology drives over third-party options provides a more reliable and streamlined user experience. Synology drives undergo thousands of hours of stringent stress testing on the exact NAS models they are intended for, guaranteeing compatibility and resilience under heavy workloads. A key advantage is the ability to perform firmware updates directly through DSM, a feature not possible with other brands. This ensures your entire storage system, from the OS to the drive firmware, is always up-to-date and secure, providing long-term peace of mind and a single point of contact for support.
