The Synology DS1513+ is a 5-bay NAS that provides up to 20TB of raw storage with the ability to scale out to 60TB using expansion bays, and it features a dual core 2.13GHz processor, 2GB of RAM and Synology's DiskStation Manager 4.2 (DSM 4.2) software. The device is also shipped with loads of connectivity via USB 3.0 and 2.0, Ethernet and eSATA ports. The next-generation DS1513+ adds on to the DS1512+ (which will still sell concurrently) and is designed for the enterprise SMB market. Compared to the DS1512+, the DS1513+ provides increased throughput, more redundancy and easier business application usage. Another stanadard feature that Synology includes is High Availability which works to prevent drawn-out downtime and performs network load balancing to optimize storage across drives.
Scalability is an important issue for businesses that are growing or anticipate data growth. The Synology DS1513+ is designed with this in mind and provides two eSATA ports which can connect to DX513 expansion units. The DX513 offers users an additional 5 bays, meaning that with two added on, users can have as many as 15 drives populating their DS1513+ and DX513 units. Also adding to value, Synology has designed the DS1513+ so that is supports both 2.5" and 3.5" SSDs and HDDs in varying capacities. IT can implement exisiting drives, use new drives mixed with legacy drives, or can implement a range of capacities to meet a specific budget goal.
The DS1513+ also implements link aggregation that utilizes all four Ethernet ports (up from two on the previous generation) so that the NAS unit can reach quoted speeds as high as 200MB/s write and 350MB/s read. Link aggregation also provides redundancy in the event of network link failure. Further, the Ethernet ports can be configured for MPIO, iSCSI, increased throughput and network node redundancy. MPIO and High Availability were previously only available on RackStation devices from Synology.
