Synology DS1621+ Network Attached Storage - 6 Bay

The Synology DiskStation DS1621+ is a high-performance 6-bay network-attached storage (NAS) device designed to meet the growing demands of data storage and management. It offers significantly improved performance over its predecessor, with 174% higher 4K random read IOPS and 76% faster sequential write speeds. This makes it ideal for handling large volumes of unstructured data, such as files, media, and virtual machine images. The DS1621+ is built for scalability, allowing users to start with a smaller configuration and expand as their data needs grow.

One of the key features of the DS1621+ is its dual M.2 slots for NVMe SSD cache, which can turbocharge HDD arrays by up to 20x without consuming drive bays. This is particularly useful for applications that require fast access to frequently used data. Additionally, the device supports expansion up to 16 drives using two DX517 expansion units, providing flexibility for future growth.

The DS1621+ also includes a comprehensive set of data protection tools. It allows users to back up critical data to public clouds, Windows PCs, servers, virtual machines, and other NAS devices using Synology's Active Backup suite, Hyper Backup, and Snapshot Replication. These tools ensure that data is protected and can be recovered in case of failure or loss.

Designed for high-speed networking, the DS1621+ is ready for 10GbE connectivity. Users can add a 10GbE SFP+ or RJ-45 NIC to increase network bandwidth based on their existing infrastructure. This makes it suitable for environments where high-speed data transfer is essential.
