Know before you buy
The DS2419+ features 12 drive bays, allowing for significant storage capacity in a desktop form factor. You can further expand this capacity by connecting up to two DX1215 expansion units if your data needs grow over time.
Yes, it is designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses. Its hardware supports intensive tasks like virtualization, file sharing, and centralized data backup for multiple users across a network.
Yes, the DS2419+ includes a PCIe slot that allows you to install a 10GbE network interface card. This is a recommended upgrade if you need to handle high-bandwidth tasks or multiple simultaneous high-speed data transfers.
While it does not have dedicated M.2 slots, you can install a PCIe adapter card to add SSD cache. This can significantly improve performance for random I/O operations, such as running virtual machines or hosting databases.
It supports a wide range of RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10, as well as Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR). SHR is particularly useful if you plan to mix drives of different capacities, as it optimizes storage space more efficiently than traditional RAID.
Yes, the unit comes with 4GB of DDR4 RAM pre-installed, which can be expanded up to 32GB. Upgrading the memory is beneficial if you intend to run multiple Docker containers or heavy virtualization workloads.
