Conclusion
...this new addition to Synology's range offers massive storage potential in a refined package that's well-suited to multi-user environments.Synology has added to its popular line-up of network-attached storage solutions with the launch of the dual-bay DS715 for home and business workgroup customers.
Priced at around £325, the DS715 is outfitted with a quad-core ARM processor, 2GB of memory, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports and simple eSATA expansion via the optional Synology DX513. Scaling to up to seven bays and touting an impressive array of business features, this new addition to Synology's range offers massive storage potential in a refined package that's well-suited to multi-user environments.
Bottom line: ready to centralise and protect your workplace data? The DS715 is a good place to start, but inflated launch pricing is such that the unit risks being overshadowed by the existing Intel-powered DS713+.
