The Synology DS225+ NAS in a tower design serves as a centralised network storage solution for managing, sharing, and backing up data in homes and small businesses. The device has two drive bays for 3.5" SATA HDDs or 2.5" SATA SSDs. The system helps you create a secure private cloud space with access to files from various platforms via mobile apps or a web browser. This allows users to store documents, organise multimedia collections, or run a surveillance centre.
The network storage is powered by a quad-core Intel Celeron J4125 processor with a base clock of 2GHz. The 2GB DDR4 non-ECC system memory provides performance for handling tasks. The device has one 2.5GbE LAN port and one 1GbE LAN port for fast data transfers on your local network. It delivers sequential read speeds of 282MB/s and sequential write speeds of 217MB/s under a stable load. The two bays can be fitted with SATA hard drives or SSDs for a total capacity of up to 48TB.
The DiskStation Manager operating system provides an interface for managing and accessing your stored data from any device. Users can access their files through mobile apps, desktop clients, or a web browser. The version control feature offers easy recovery of previously deleted files or restoration of data corrupted by malware. Integrated tools make it easy to organise photos and videos into albums, with the option for secure sharing via links.
The platform includes tools for increased productivity and real-time collaboration. Teams can edit documents, spreadsheets, and presentations together directly on the storage device. The system includes the option to run a local email server with full control over your data. The Synology Chat communication application supports secure conversations, public and private channels, and group chats for efficient information exchange.
Drive ShareSync performs one-way or two-way data synchronisation between multiple Synology devices at different locations. Frequently used files are stored locally. In contrast, less frequently used data remains in the cloud, which saves local disk capacity. The system supports automatic synchronisation with public clouds such as Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, or BackBlaze B2.
Active Backup for Business unifies backups for computers, physical servers, virtual machines, and cloud applications like Microsoft 365. Users can set up backup schedules according to the 3-2-1 rule for data security. Protection for shared folders and LUNs works using immutable snapshots, which prevent unauthorised data tampering.
The Surveillance Station application creates a surveillance centre with support for up to 25 IP cameras. The system includes tools for live monitoring, motion detection, playback of recordings, and licence management. Users can take advantage of dual recording to cloud storage in case of physical damage to the local device. Centralised management helps you supervise multiple Synology servers from a single interface.
