QNAP DS712+ Fascicule

With the Link Aggregation enabled, Synology DS712+ delivers an average 

105.59MB/sec writing speed under RAID 1 configuration in a Windows 

environment, and 180.91MB/sec reading

. 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. Businesses need 

a strong foundation to face mission-critical tasks so the Synology DS712+ 

delivers high-performance with high data availability ensuring access when 

it’s needed.

The Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) automatically builds an optimal RAID 

volume with data protection based on the hard drives installed, eliminating 

the need to have hard drives of identical size, while still offering a manual 

setup option for advanced users.

Multiple Volumes on RAID allows you to create more than one volume on 

a RAID structure, providing a flexible and efficient way to manage your 

storage across all available hard drives. When the need arises to expand the 

volumes, simply allocate more storage space on the UI, and DSM does the 

rest for you without any service disruption.

With the iSCSI support in DSM, the Synology DS712+ 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.

When the storage capacity of the Synology DS712+ is nearing its capacity 

limit, it can easily be expanded with the Synology DX510 expansion 

enclosure. The Synology DX510 securely connects to the Synology DS712+ 

via an eSATA cable with specially-designed locking connectors. The 

Synology DX510 expands the existing storage on the Synology DS712+ up 

to a maximum 21TB capacity.

The Synology DS712+ 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 DS712+ to quickly and easily fit in an 

existing business network environment with no need to recreate user 

accounts.

Directory Server package can turn DS712+ 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 account or directory 

groups, employees can access all the DiskStations within the service.

Windows ACL support on DS712+ provides much finer-grained access 

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

to files and folders on DS712+ 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 DS712+ 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 DS712+. 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 DS712+ 

into a dedicated mail service provider and the USB printer sharing 

capability minimizes businesses’ printing cost by sharing printing resources 

throughout the office.

Synology DiskStations are designed and developed with energy efficiency 

in mind. Compared with the average PC counterparts, the Synology DS712+ 

consume relatively low amount of power at 27.5 watts only in operation. 

The support of Wake on LAN/WAN and scheduled power on and off can 

further reduce power consumption and operation cost. HDD hibernation or 

Deep Sleep mode can be configured to take effect automatically when the 

system has been inactive for a specified period of time. This not only saves 

energy but also extends the lifespan of the hard disks.

All Synology products are produced with RoHS compliant parts and 

packed with recyclable packing materials. Synology acknowledges 

the responsibility as a global citizen to continually work to reduce the 

environmental impact of every product produced.
