Synology DS1512+ 20TB DS1512+/20TB Leaflet

With the Link Aggregation enabled, Synology DS1512+ delivers an average 

194.8 MB/sec writing speed under RAID 5 configuration in a Windows® 

environment, and 200.3 MB/sec reading. Coming with USB 3.0 support which 

offers transmission speeds of up to 5 Gbps, namely 10 times faster than USB 2.0, 

DS1512+ takes less time for data transfer for external hard drives and consumes 

less power. Synology DS1512+ brings you the high performance that your 

data-intensive applications demand for a storage system, and offers the ability to 

scale the storage capacity.

Reliable functioning of commercial systems is of paramount concern to business 

users who depend on these servers every day. Synology DS1512+ is now 

introduced with the fanless CPU heatsink to prevent the single point of failure. 

With the CPU passive cooling technology, Synology DS1512+ achieves the high 

reliability system design. When one of your system fans malfunctions, the built-in 

system fan redundancy mechanism can extend service uptime by keeping the 

remaining fan running and your DS1512+ performing basic operations until the 

replacement fan arrives. The 2 LAN with failover support and hot-swappable 

drives will ensure continual service uptime should the drives need replacement 

or the unexpected LAN failure occurs. Business need a strong foundation to face 

mission-critical tasks so the Synology DS1512+ delivers high reliability ensuring 

data access when it is needed.

When the storage capacity of the Synology DS1512+ is nearing its limits, it can 

easily be expanded with the Synology DX510

. The Synology DX510 securely 

connects to the Synology DS1512+ via an eSATA cable of specially-designed 

connectors on both ends to ensure maximum throughput. The Synology 

DX510 can directly expand the existing storage on the Synology DS1512+ to a 

maximum 60 TB capacity.

With the iSCSI support in DSM, the Synology DS1512+ provides a seamless 

storage solution for virtualization servers, such as VMware, Hyper-V, and Citrix. 

It is the ideal alternative to SAN solution for businesses. Affordable and cost-

effective, iSCSI allows SMB users to consolidate storage into data center storage 

arrays while providing hosts with the illusion of locally-attached disks.

The Synology DS1512+ runs on the renowned operation system, Synology DSM, 

offering applications and features designed specifically for SMBs. Comprehensive 

network protocol support assures seamless file sharing across Windows, Mac®, 

and Linux® platforms. Windows ADS and LDAP integration allows the Synology 

DS1512+ to quickly and easily fit in an existing business network environment 

with no need to recreate user accounts.

Directory Server package can turn DS1512+ into an LDAP-based directory server 

within minutes. IT administrators can bind other DiskStations to the directory 

server. With the same batch of directory user accounts or groups, employees can 

access all the DiskStations with the same user credentials.

Windows ACL support on DS1512+ provides much finer-grained access control 

and efficient privilege settings, allowing IT staffs to set up privileges to files and 

folders on DS1512+ through their familiar Windows user interface. The privileges 

set on Windows ACL will be applied to all access entries, including AFP, FTP, File 

Station, NFS and WebDAV. The secure privilege offers IT staff peace of mind, no 

worries about any loopholes.

Internet file access is simplified with the included encrypted FTP server and the 

web-based file explorer, Synology File Station. HTTPS, the built-in firewall, and 

IP auto-block support ensure file sharing over the Internet is protected at a high 

security level.

A wealth of additional features allows the Synology DS1512+ to replace 

several pieces of network hardware. Synology Web Station with support for 

PHP/MySQL® content allows for the hosting of up to 30 websites on a single 

Synology DS1512+. Synology Surveillance Station offers a centralized interface 

to safeguard the office environments by deploying IP cameras throughout the 

network. The built-in mail server turns a Synology DS1512+ into a dedicated mail 

service provider and the USB printer sharing capability minimizes businesses’ 

printing cost by sharing printing resources throughout the office.

Synology DiskStation are designed and developed with energy efficiency 

in mind. Compared with the average PC counterparts, Synology DS1512+ 

consumes only 50.6 watts in operation. The support of wake on LAN, scheduled 

power on/off and hard drive hibernation can further reduce power consumption 

and operation cost.

All Synology products are produced with RoHS compliant parts and packed with 

recyclable packaging materials. Synology acknowledges the responsibility as a 

global citizen to continually work to reduce the environmental impact of every 

product produced.
