Synology Announces Three New 2-Bay NAS Servers
Synology today announced a trio of 2-bay DiskStations designed to fit a variety of budgetary concerns. Following hot on the heels of the powerful and scalable DS712+, Synology has now officially launched the DiskStations DS212+, DS212, and DS212j. The new 2-bays are designed to be quiet and have low power requirements. At around a mere 18 watts in use, the new models reinforce Synology’s green credentials, and can save on energy costs when compared to PC file server alternatives. With the new case design, larger fans, and drive-noise damping features, the three network attached storage (NAS) models will fit unobtrusively into even extremely quiet offices environments. The DS212+ and the DS212 additionally offer wake on LAN (WOL) support. These two are the first Synology releases to feature USB 3.0 support for rapid transfers to or from external disks.
“The addition of these three models to Synology’s lineup means that business users, no matter how small, can afford a network attached storage solution to meet their needs,” said Doug Self, Product Marketing Manager at Synology America Corp. “With DiskStations starting under $200, Synology has a storage solution that will be at home on any network, from SOHO to larger offices.”
