Pros
Pro Users can expand the storage potential as they need it
By default, this unit can hold eight 10TB HDDs for 80TB of total storage. It also comes with two eSATA ports, which can be used to attach two DX513 five-bay expansion units. Each expansion unit costs an additional $499.99 (diskless) and allows you to add to your potential storage up to 50TB (5 x 10TB) of storage space. For new businesses, this means you can expand your data storage space as your business expands. This is much cheaper and easier than buying new, larger replacement units and migrating all the data to them.
Pro Good performance for industrial and professional use
The Synology DS1815+ comes with a quad-core 2.4GHz Intel Atom C2538 CPU and 2GB of RAM. With read and write speeds of 450MB/s and 412MB/s, this NAS unit is well suited for industrial and professional use. For example, a dozen editors can simultaneously work on a single 4K video without experiencing any lag.
Pro Straightforward set-up process
Setting up this unit is pleasantly simple. Just install the hard disks, power up the unit and connect it to your router. Then, just access the provided address using your browser and fill the basic signup forms. This is a commercial grade unit, but you don't have to be an IT expert in order to get it up and running.
Pro Data is very well protected from hardware failure
This unit is quite reliable, featuring multiple RAID arrangement options that provide immunity to one or even two simultaneous disk failures. As there are eight hard disk bays in total, it can support RAID0, RAID1, RAID5, RAID6 and RAID10. This gives users the freedom to configure the device according to their storage needs and availability. In case of failure, the faulty disk can be replaced on-the-go, since the DS1815+ supports hot swapping.
