DX513

When running out of hard drive capacity on the Synology DiskStation, 

Synology DX513 provides an easy way to immediately scale capacity by 

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.
Synology DX513 can be used as a dedicated local backup solution 

for the Synology DiskStation. When created as a separate volume, the 

Synology DX513 provides a great backup solution to its local hard disks in 

case of system failure.

The Synology DX513 is connected to the Synology DiskStation using 

an expansion cable with custom-designed connectors on both ends, 

ensuring a reliable connection and maximum throughput. The 3.0 Gb/

sec connection speed allows the hard drives in the connected Synology 

DX513 to operate as the internal ones of Synology DiskStation. 

The HDD hibernation and system hibernation can be manually 

configured to take effect automatically when the system has been 

inactive for a period of time. This not only saves energy but also extends 

the lifespan of the hard disk. The DX513 will also smartly power on/off with 

the attached DiskStation, so no user intervention is needed to keep this 

system running smartly and efficiently.
