Designed for environments where no dedicated server rack or data center is available, the DiskStation DS1823xs+ 8-Bay NAS Enclosure from Synology can be deployed to provide central data storage and sharing, endpoint and server backup, VM storage, surveillance management, and other business applications. Powered by Synology's DiskStation Manager (DSM), the DS1823xs+ can be expanded with 10 additional drive bays, or use the PCIe 3.0 x8/x4 slot to install a 1/10/25GbE networking card or Fiber Channel expansion card.
The DS1823xs+ is equipped with a 3.35 GHz AMD Ryzen V1780B Quad-Core processor and 8GB of DDR4 ECC memory that can be expanded up to 32GB, while also delivering read speeds of 3100 MB/s and write speeds of 2600 MB/s. This NAS is equipped with 8 drive bays that natively support 3.5" SATA hard drives, as well as 2.5" SATA hard drives and SSDs for data storage.
The DS1823xs+ runs on the Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) OS, which is a browser-based operating system that helps to simplify managing your Synology NAS. Also featured are three USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports for peripherals and accessories, plus two eSATA expansion ports for two DX517 expansion units. Network connectivity is achieved via the one 10 Gigabit Ethernet port or three Gigabit Ethernet ports. For those who require RAID support, the DS1823xs+ supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10, as well Synology F1 and Basic, each of which offers performance, data redundancy, or a combination of both. For those who do not require a RAID, JBOD is also available, allowing each drive bay to be individually utilized.
The DS1823xs+ is engineered to be energy efficient. Not only does it offer two 120 x 120 x 25mm fans to help keep the system running cool, its noise-dampening design makes for quiet operation. The server supports numerous scheduled power on / off cycles and hard drive hibernation to further minimize power consumption and operation expenses.
The Synology DiskStation DS1823xs+ 8-Bay NAS Enclosure operates on 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz and includes an accessory pack, an AC power cord, and two RJ45 LAN cables. Protection is provided by a limited 5-year warranty.
