Synology has launched the DiskStation Neo+ Series, comprising the DS1825neo+, DS1525neo+, DS925neo+ and DS725neo+. The new lineup introduces a 4GB non-ECC DDR4 SODIMM default memory configuration, offering a lower-cost entry point while retaining upgrade options for users with growing workloads.
The Neo+ models are built on the same platform as Synology’s DS Plus Series and will coexist with the standard DS Plus models. According to Synology, the new configuration is intended to provide customers with greater flexibility in balancing initial hardware costs with future expansion requirements.
The lineup includes built-in M.2 slots for SSD caching and 2.5GbE ports. Storage capacity can be expanded through the DX525 expansion unit, while the DS1825neo+ and DS1525neo+ include PCIe 3.0 slots supporting optional 10GbE or 25GbE network adapter cards.
The models also support existing ECC memory upgrade options, allowing memory capacity to be expanded up to 32GB as workloads increase.
“Desktop models remain at the heart of our NAS ecosystem,” said Bie-I Chu, EVP of the Synology NAS Group. ” As memory market dynamics shift, the neo+ Series reinforces our commitment to accessibility, giving customers the freedom to scale hardware according to their immediate budget and future growth.”
The DiskStation Neo+ Series runs on Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) with capabilities for data sharing, synchronisation, backup and surveillance. Synology Drive provides private-cloud functionality with cross-platform access and site-to-site synchronisation, while Active Backup Suite supports backup for Windows, Linux and macOS devices, virtual machines and cloud accounts. Surveillance Station provides on-premises network video recorder capabilities for multi-site security monitoring.
The DiskStation Neo+ Series is now available through Synology’s global distribution channels.
