Synology 6 bay NAS DiskStation DS1621xs+ (Diskless)

The Synology DiskStation DS1621xs+ is a high-end 6-bay Network-Attached Storage solution designed for small to medium-sized businesses and demanding prosumers requiring server-class performance, exceptional data throughput, and robust data integrity. The DS1621xs+ NAS DiskStation is powered by an Intel Xeon D-1527 Quad-Core processor for resource-intensive applications and features 8GB DDR4 ECC RAM to ensure stable and efficient operation in multi-user environments.

It features an integrated 10GbE port, which, combined with the dual M.2 NVMe SSD cache slots, delivers breakthrough read/write speeds, making it ideal for tasks that demand low-latency and high-bandwidth, such as video editing, large-scale backups, and running virtual machines. The Synology DiskStation offers 6 hot-swappable drive bays for 3.5" or 2.5" SATA HDDs/SSDs and can be expanded up to 16 drives. For comprehensive data protection, the DiskStation runs on Synology's DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system, which includes robust data protection features like Btrfs file system support with snapshot capabilities.

This "diskless" model supports VMware vSphere and other virtualisation environments, allowing you to run multiple virtual machines (VMs) on a single physical host. It comes with a generous 5-year limited hardware warranty, providing peace of mind for business deployments.

Server-Class Performance

Powered by an Intel Xeon D-1527 Quad-Core processor (2.2GHz, burst up to 2.7GHz) and 8GB DDR4 ECC SODIMM RAM, with expandability of up to 32GB, the Synology DiskStation DS1621xs+ ensures smooth handling of intensive workloads and multi-tasking operations. This amazing feature provides the computational power needed for demanding tasks.

Highly Scalable Storage

The Synology DiskStation DS1621xs+ offers 6 hot-swappable drive bays for 3.5" or 2.5" SATA HDDs/SSDs bays, with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, Basic, and JBOD for flexible storage configurations. Its capacity can be expanded up to 16 drives by adding two optional Synology DX517 5-bay expansion units, providing massive storage potential (up to 256TB raw capacity with current large drives).

Built-in 10GbE Connectivity

This diskless model features a built-in 10GbE port and two Gigabit Ethernet ports, facilitating fast data transfer and network redundancy. This provides ultra-fast data transfer speeds of over 3,100 MB/s sequential read and 1,800 MB/s sequential write performance, crucial for data-intensive tasks like high-resolution video editing, large file transfers, and virtualisation.

Integrated M.2 NVMe SSD Cache Slots

Including two M.2 2280 NVMe SSD slots, the Synology DiskStation DS1621xs+ allows users to add high-speed SSD caching without occupying any of the main drive bays. This significantly boosts I/O (input and output) response speeds up to 20 times faster for frequently accessed data. Its expandability ensures it can grow with your business needs, offering a future-proof storage infrastructure.

Comprehensive Data Protection

Designed to run on Synology's DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system, the Synology DiskStation DS1621xs+ includes robust data protection features like Btrfs file system support with snapshot capabilities, Active Backup for Business, Hyper Backup, Synology Drive, and Active Backup for 365/Google Workspace to safeguard data across multiple platforms.
