About this product
The Synology DS720+ is a 2-bay diskless NAS enclosure designed for desktop use, supporting both HDD and SSD storage types. It features 8GB of RAM, a USB 3.0 interface, and an eSATA interface for potential expansion. This NAS offers a read speed of 5600MB/s and includes 256MB of cache. It's built for PC compatibility, with a compact black desktop form factor, providing robust network-attached storage capabilities and backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty.
Our take
The Synology DS720+ is a capable 2-bay NAS for home offices or small businesses. With 8GB of RAM and support for both HDDs and SSDs, it offers good flexibility for performance and capacity. The inclusion of an eSATA interface for expansion is a smart move, allowing you to grow your storage beyond the initial two bays. While the listed read speed of 5600MB/s and 256MB cache are appealing, remember that it's diskless, so you'll need to factor in the cost of drives. It's a reliable platform for data storage, backup, and sharing, perfect for users already familiar with or willing to learn Synology's DiskStation Manager.
