FAQs
What drives are compatible with the Synology DS1525+?
The DS1525+ supports 5 × 3.5" or 2.5" SATA HDDs/SSDs in the main bays, plus 2 × M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs for caching. The system is sold diskless, allowing you to choose drives based on your capacity and performance requirements.
Can I upgrade the network speed to 10GbE?
Yes. The DS1525+ includes dual 2.5GbE ports by default. To add 10GbE connectivity, you can purchase the optional Synology Network Upgrade Module: E10G22-T1-Mini separately.
What is the maximum storage capacity?
Maximum capacity depends on the drives you install. With five drive bays supporting drives up to 18TB each, theoretical maximum is 90TB. Check Synology's compatibility list for tested drive recommendations.
How does Link Aggregation improve performance?
Link Aggregation combines the two 2.5GbE ports into a single logical connection, providing up to 5Gbps of bandwidth while supporting automatic failover if one port fails. This improves both throughput and reliability for critical workloads.
Is the DS1525+ suitable for virtualisation?
Yes. With its AMD Ryzen Quad Core processor, 8GB RAM, and performance up to 1,180+ MB/s, the DS1525+ is well-suited for virtualisation environments, iSCSI targets, and VM hosting scenarios.
What warranty is included?
The Synology DiskStation DS1525+ comes with a standard 3-year warranty covering hardware defects and failures.
Can storage be expanded later?
Yes. The DS1525+ is fully scalable. You can start with a basic configuration and expand capacity and performance by adding drives or connecting external expansion units as your business grows.
