DX1215

When drive capacity is running low on a Synology DiskStation, Synology 

DX1215 provides an easy way to immediately scale capacity by 

providing an additional 12 drive slots. A RAID volume on the Synology 

DiskStation can be expanded directly without having to reformat the 

existing drives, ensuring the Synology DiskStation continues providing 

services during capacity expansion. 
Synology DX1215 can serve as a dedicated local backup solution for a 

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

DX1215 provides a great backup solution for local drives in case of 

system failure.

DX1215 securely connects to Synology’s DiskStation servers with a 

specially designed expansion cable, ensuring easy connection and 

maximum data throughput. The 6Gb/s connection speed allows the 

drives in the connected Synology DX1215 to operate as the internal ones 

of Synology DiskStation.  

Hibernation mode can be manually configured to start automatically 

when the system has been inactive for a period of time. This not only 

saves energy but also extends the lifespan of hard drives. DX1215 will 

also smartly power on/off with the attached DiskStation, so no user 

intervention is needed to keep this system running smartly and efficiently.
DX1215 comes with a fast detachable fan module with two 120 X 120mm 

fans and screwless drive trays, making system components replacement 

fast and tool-free.

Synology DX1215 delivers an effortless volume expansion and data backup solution for 

selected Synology DiskStation servers by providing an additional 12 drive slots with SATA 

III 6Gb/s interface support. Synology DX1215 is backed with Synology’s 5-year limited 

warranty.
