Synology Inc. announced the launch of the 5-bay DS1520+ storage system, built to excel in home and small office environments. Ideal for data backup and organising multimedia libraries, DS1520+ is a versatile and scalable option to create a private cloud.

DS1520+ at a glance:

  • 126% faster in website responsiveness
  • 19.8% faster in compute-tasks
  • Five internal drive bays with support up to 15
  • Up to 240 TB raw capacity
  • Dual M.2 2280 NVMe SSD cache slots

Average percentage improvement

The capacity of DS1520+ can be expanded using two Synology DX517 Expansion Units

DS1520+ is available from Synology resellers and partners worldwide, joining the rest of the 20-series lineup. Performance figures are based on the average percentage improvement of DS1520+ relative to DS1019+, as tested at Synology labs.

Responsiveness improvement measured by Web PHP response efficiency and compute performance improvement measured using file indexing in Synology Drive and photo indexing in Synology Moments. Performance gains may vary depending on the environment, type of usage, and configuration.

The capacity of DS1520+ can be expanded using two Synology DX517 Expansion Units, purchased separately. Maximum raw capacity calculated using 15 x 16TB drives, actual usable capacity will depend on storage configuration.
