Product Information

The Btrfs file system helps prevent data corruption or loss through metadata mirroring, file self-healing, and efficient point-in-time snapshots. Synology only guarantees full functionality, reliability, and performance for Synology drives listed on the compatibility list. However, the DX517's IEC inlet is recessed over an inch into its back panel and the MagicPower cord's plug was too big to fit.

Up to 10,000 cameras can be managed per deployment by adding together recording servers with Surveillance Station CMS. Provide employees with access to corporate files through mobile apps, desktop clients, and a browser-based interface. This solution was less than half the cost of the DS1819+ and its associated accessories (additional RAM, backup drives, etc). The use of non-validated components may limit certain functionality and result in data loss and system instability. Regarding data concerning tests with RAM expansion, all memory slots are installed with the maximum capacity of supported RAM.Protect your files against accidental changes and removal or even malware attacks with built-in snapshot technology and other backup options. Extend the standard 3-year hardware warranty of your DS1621+ with 2 more years of Synology-certified support and premium services that help you recover faster in the event of disaster. I made what seems to be a common mistake (given other posts here) and assumed that the DX517 expansion unit would seamlessly give me another five drive bays for when I was ready to expand.

Noise Level Testing Environment: Fully loaded with Seagate 2TB ST2000VN000 hard drive(s) in the idle state. Performance figures are achieved in the Synology lab with optimized network and configuration settings. Consolidate and automate backup tasks for PCs, file servers, VMs, SaaS applications, and more with Active Backup Suite.During testing, the maximum number of SSDs supported by this model is installed in a RAID 5 configuration. When applicable, systems are tested configured with maximum memory and set to allow the maximum number of connections.

It came with an 18 AWG IEC power cord, which I quickly switched for a Signal Cable 12 AWG Digital Reference power cord. For complete compatibility, DS1621+ supports the following protocols: AFP, FTP, iSCSI, NFS, SMB, and WebDAV.

Filling the remaining three bays with 8 TB drives would provide 69 TB total storage with a currant occupancy rate of 36%. My preference is having my video collection distributed among a larger number of smaller drives than a small number of large drives.
