Synology has launched the $799.99 DiskStation DS1618+, a 6six-bay NAS designed for file serving, application hosting, data backup, and real-time collaboration.
It’s powered by a quad-core Intel Atom processor C3538 and 4GB DDR4 non-ECC SODIMM, expandable up to 32GB in ECC SODIMMs. The storage capacity can be upgraded to 192TB when connected to two DX517 expansion units.
With Synology’s M2D17 PCIe adapter card, DS1618+ can house dual M.2 SATA SSD, taking advantage of the SSD cache to boost maximum throughput and reduce the I/O latency, says Synology CEO Derren Lu.. By alternatively installing a network interface card via the PCIe slot, DS1618+ supports up to two 10GbE ports to reach a maximum throughput of 1,551 MBps reading and 586 MBps writing.
The DS1618+ runs on DiskStation Manager, the operating system for Synology NAS devices — with applications offered to enhance data security and work efficiency.
