Synology DX510
Expansion Unit for Increasing Capacity of the Synology DiskStation
Synology® DX510 delivers an effortless solution for volume expansion and data backup for selected 
Synology DiskStations. The DX510 smoothly scales the storage capacity of the Synology DiskStation 
by an additional 5 hard drives on the fly when firmly connected directly to the Synology DiskStation, 
ensuring a reliable expansion solution.
Volume Expansion & Backup
When running out of the hard drive capacity on the Synology DiskStation, the Synology DX510 provides an easy way to 
immediately scale capacity by an additional 5 hard drives. The RAID volume on the Synology DiskStation can be expanded 
directly without having to reformat the existing hard drives, ensuring the Synology DiskStation continues its service during 
the capacity expansion. When created as a separate volume, the Synology DX510 provides a great solution for backing up 
the Synology DiskStation.
 
 
Reliable Plug-n-use Design
The Synology DX510 is connected to the Synology DiskStation using an eSATA cable with custom-designed connectors 
on both ends, ensuring a reliable connection and maximum throughput. The eSATA 3.0 Gb/sec definition allows the hard 
drives in the connected Synology DX510 to operate as they are the internal ones of the Synology DiskStation.
 
 
Green & Easy to Manage
The HDD hibernation can be manually configured to take effect automatically when the system has been inactive for a 
period of time. This not only save energy but also extends the lifespan of the hard disk.
 
Synology DX510 is managed with the DiskStation firmware Synology DSM 2.3. No firmware installation is needed.
