FAQ
How many drives can the Synology DS725+ support?
The DS725+ supports up to two drives total. These can be either 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs). The system does not differentiate between HDD and SSD bays—both drive types can be installed in either of the two available bays, providing flexibility in storage configuration.
What RAID configurations does this NAS support?
The DS725+ supports multiple RAID levels including RAID 0 (striping for performance), RAID 1 (mirroring for redundancy), RAID 5 and 6 (distributed parity for balance of performance and protection), and RAID 10 (combining mirroring and striping). It also supports Basic (single disk), Hybrid RAID (Synology's proprietary implementation), and JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) for storage pooling without RAID protection.
What processor does the DS725+ use and how much memory is included?
This NAS system features an AMD R-Series R1600 dual-core processor running at 2.60 GHz. The processor provides sufficient computational power for typical NAS operations including file serving, data encryption, and media transcoding. The system comes standard with 4 GB of DDR4 SDRAM, which supports efficient caching and concurrent operations across multiple protocols and connected users.
What network connectivity options are available on the DS725+?
The DS725+ includes two RJ-45 network ports that support both Gigabit Ethernet (1 GbE) and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (2.5GbE) technologies. This dual-speed capability allows for flexible network deployment—you can use traditional Gigabit Ethernet for compatibility or take advantage of 2.5GbE for higher throughput when your network infrastructure supports it. The ports can also be configured for link aggregation to increase bandwidth.
What is the physical size and form factor of this storage system?
The DS725+ has a compact desktop form factor measuring 6.54 inches in height, 4.17 inches in width, and 8.78 inches in depth (166 × 106 × 223 mm). It weighs approximately 3.33 pounds (1510 g). This size makes it suitable for placement on desks, shelves, or in small network closets without requiring dedicated rack space or special mounting hardware.
What protocols and services does the DS725+ support for file sharing?
The system supports a comprehensive range of network protocols including SMB (versions 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0) for Windows environments, NFS (versions 3, 4, and 4.1) for Unix/Linux systems, AFP for macOS compatibility, and iSCSI for block-level storage. It also supports standard protocols like HTTP/HTTPS for web access, FTP for file transfers, and various management protocols including SNMP and LDAP for integration with existing infrastructure.
