Synology introduces DiskStation neo+ for flexible storage

Synology is taking a more flexible approach to desktop NAS storage with its new DiskStation neo+ lineup. The series offers four models with a 4GB non-ECC DDR4 SODIMM configuration, providing a lower-cost starting point while leaving room for future upgrades.

The lineup includes the DS1825neo+, DS1525neo+, DS925neo+, and DS725neo+. The bigger idea is simple: customers can start with what they need today and add capacity as their workloads grow.

Synology neo+ Series targets flexible NAS budgets

The Synology neo+ Series is built on the same platform as the DS Plus Series but changes the default memory configuration. Instead of making higher memory capacity part of the upfront cost, Synology is offering 4GB non-ECC DDR4 SODIMM as standard.

The neo+ models will sit alongside the existing DS Plus Series. This gives customers another choice based on their immediate budget and performance needs.

That flexibility could matter for users who want affordable network storage without giving up a clear upgrade path.

Performance stays central to the lineup

The lower entry configuration does not mean the models are stripped down. The new systems include built-in M.2 slots for SSD caching and 2.5GbE connectivity. Storage can also be expanded using the DX525 expansion unit.

The DS1825neo+ and DS1525neo+ add PCIe 3.0 slots, supporting optional 10GbE or 25GbE network adapter cards.

Users can also upgrade memory to as much as 32GB using existing ECC memory options. That makes the DiskStation neo+ lineup relevant for workloads that may become more demanding over time.

Private cloud and backup remain part of the package

The hardware is backed by Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM), with features covering data sharing, synchronisation, backup and surveillance.

Synology Drive can turn the NAS into a private cloud, offering cross-platform access and site-to-site synchronisation. Active Backup Suite supports Windows, Linux and macOS devices, virtual machines and cloud accounts, while Surveillance Station adds on-premises NVR capabilities for multi-site monitoring.
