NAS Synology DiskStation DS725+ 2-bay Ryzen R1600 4GB DDR4 ECC, 2.5GbE, 2x M.2, RAID support, 0TB, Black

The Synology DiskStation DS725+ Ryzen R1600 4GB DDR4 is a compact two-bay NAS designed for home and small office environments. It is powered by an AMD Ryzen Embedded R1600 processor (2.6 GHz) and 4 GB of DDR4 RAM, and offers flexible storage expansion through internal 2.5"/3.5" SATA bays and M.2 NVMe slots for cache. Built-in 2.5GbE networking provides faster than gigabit throughput for file sharing and backup tasks.

Advantages

The DS725+ combines a multi-core Ryzen processor with 2.5GbE connectivity to deliver improved network performance for simultaneous users and services. It supports both HDD and SSD in internal bays and provides M.2 NVMe slots to add cache, enabling higher I/O responsiveness. RAID support and a compact black chassis make it suitable for space-conscious setups while preserving data protection options.

Suitable for

• Home media storage and streaming
• Small office file sharing and centralized backups
• Photo and video project storage with occasional editing
• Cache-accelerated workloads using M.2 NVMe drives
