About this product
The Synology DiskStation DS1621+ is a 6-bay NAS enclosure that comes pre-configured with 60TB of storage, utilizing 7200 RPM HDDs. This black unit is designed for both Mac and PC compatibility, connecting via Ethernet. It supports both HDD and SSD storage formats, and offers USB 3.0 connectivity. Despite being a NAS enclosure primarily for HDDs, the type is listed as External SSD with a 2.5-inch form factor, indicating flexibility for various drive types.
Our take
The Synology DiskStation DS1621+ presents a robust solution for serious data storage, offering 60TB out of the box with six bays. The 7200 RPM drives are a plus for performance, and USB 3.0 provides decent local transfer speeds, though the primary interface is Ethernet. It's compatible with both Mac and PC, which is standard for a NAS. I did find the 'External SSD' type description a bit confusing given it's a 6-bay HDD enclosure, but it does support SSDs. The lifetime manufacturer warranty is a standout feature for long-term peace of mind, making the $2,500.00 price tag feel a bit more justified for a comprehensive data solution.
