DiskStation DS1515
The DiskStation DS1515 is Synology’s first 5-bay value series model with a quad core CPU, hardware encryption engine, and 4 built-in Gigabit LAN ports for network redundancy for unexpected hardware failure. Like all devices that run DSM the device offers cross platform file sharing, remote access with mobile devices, and scalability to add storage in the future.
RackStation RS815
The RackStation RS815 is a 4-bay rackmount that scales up to 48TB (with expansion units) and is only 12 inches deep. The RS815 is designed for two particular use cases: small business with little space but large storage needs and home media enthusiasts that want to store their virtual library in one location and stream it to their device of choice.
Both the DS1515 and RS815 have hot-swappable drives and manageable RAID, so users can avoid downtime and not worry about data loss. And both can be combined with Synology’s Surveillance Station doubling as a security device for home and office.
Availability and pricing
Both new Synology devices are available today. The DS1515 has a retail price of $649.99 and the RS815 has a retail price of $599.99.
