Synology Inc. has introduced the next generation of 6-bay DiskStation devices: the DS1621+. It’s designed for high-performance data storage and management, and enables content creators and businesses to store, share and protect large quantities of data effortlessly, making it a compact powerhouse for the remote workforce of today, says Hewitt Lee, Director of Synology Product Management Group.
The DS1621+’s quad-core AMD RyzenTM processor features the next-generation “Zen” architecture, delivering over 2x more processing power. Lee says this allows 76% faster sequential write performance at up to 1.1 GB/s along with 174% higher 4KB random read performance with 110K IOPS1.
Dual M.2 2280 slots allow NVMe SSD caching to boost performance by 20x or more for commonly accessed data. The DS1621+ also supports an optional 10GbE NIC for faster network environments and more concurrent users.
The DS1621+ provides six drive bays, with the ability to expand up to 16 bays. DiskStation Manager (DSM) comes pre-installed with every Synology NAS and comes with a variety of backup and restoration solutions that cover the most common situations.
For additional off-site protection, Synology Hyper Backup enables simple, schedulable protection to keep your data backed up to Synology NAS, Synology C2 cloud storage, and other public cloud providers.
