Synology DS1515+ 5 Bay Desktop NAS Enclosure

Product Information

Removed the "Synchronize with an NTP server every time a domain user signs in" option for Domain/LDAP advanced settings. Users can configure the "Synchronize with NTP server" option at Regional Options > Time instead. Intel is committed to enabling SMBs with advanced yet cost-effective technologies to boost productivity,” said Bev Crair, General Manager of the storage division at Intel Corporation. “The Atom C2000 processor provides Synology NAS with an impressive level of encryption performance for file transfers, while the low energy consumption design keeps operating costs low – both of which are prime concerns for small businesses.” Just like I described above in the chapter about DS218+, you can remove the installed RAM module and install 16GB kit. And it works! Other Models With Expandable RAM series : RS2416RP+, RS2416+, RS18016xs+, DS416play, RS816, DS916+, DS416slim, DS416j, DS416, DS216play, DS716+II, DS716+, DS216j, DS216+II, DS216+, DS216, DS116 Fixed an issue where after users updated to DSM 6.2.4, iSCSI targets mapped with LUNs created on DSM 6.0 and before became offline and couldn't be enabled.

It is not clear if such an increase will improve the performance even more than adding 2GB memory, and what is the manufacturer’s stance on this. Nevertheless, the affordable DS1515 is a tempting proposition for small businesses that want a low-cost network storage repository with room to grow. It runs the same DSM software as the DS1515+ so features and apps are equally impressive and it's just as well built. Verdict Anyway, I’m happy to report that the thing boots just fine now. I’m hoping this fix will keep it going for another 5+ years like it did before it died. Synology includes a few common multimedia services in the DSM software. Photo Station combines a handheld-device-friendly image album with a public blog, though like other NAS albums we've seen, it isn't likely to replace iPhoto in anyone's affections. Audio Station lets you access your music library, and the ShoutCast list of Internet radio stations. Video Station organizes your movie, video, and TV show collection.Fixed an issue where the system might not obtain the compatibility information of hot-swapped drives on expansion units. Our next benchmark measures 100% 8k sequential throughput with a 16T/16Q load in 100% read and 100% write operations. The SMB test showed strong numbers for the DS1515+ loaded with Red drives, claiming the top spot in both read and write (51,982 IOPS and 43,948 IOPS, respectively). Seagate drives in the same configuration showed almost identical results. Overall, iSCSI transfer speeds were much slower; the top iSCSI performers were the DS1515+ with Reds (write speeds of 16,433 IOPS) and the DS1513+ loaded with Seagate NAS drives (read speeds of 13,389 IOPS).

This is an option where you can take the ‘8GB per channel’ idea to the max. You can remove the preinstalled 2GB RAM module and install 2 pieces of 8GB chips. SSD Cache Groups can be allocated to multiple volumes, allowing for more flexible management of SSD cache capacity.Fixed an issue where Universal Search couldn't find the data in shared folders on volumes that were created on DSM 7.1.1. Fixed an issue where users could not sign in to Synology mobile apps after they had cleared the remembered device list in DSM 6.2.4.

Added support for the configuration of date and time formats in personal account settings and Control Panel. Brand new iSCSI Manager built for IT administrators, providing a new management user interface for an optimized iSCSI management and monitoring experience. Fixed an issue where incorrect or incomplete update information may be displayed in the DSM Update tab. Fixed an issue where iSCSI Manager might not open for the incompatible format of iSCSI LUN configuration files set up before DSM 5.2.

Important Notes

The update is expected to be available for all regions within the next few weeks, although the time of release in each region may vary slightly. Calculating the DS1515+’s standard deviation for the 4k latency shows us how consistent the latency results were within each of the categories during our benchmarks. The DS1513+ loaded with Seagate NAS HDDs was the top performer in both SMB and iSCSI as well as both read and write functions (87.6ms and 312.4ms, respectively). Comparatively, the DS1515+ performed poorly in general; the worst write performance came from the DS1515+ loaded with Seagate drives and configured in iSCSI (2,076.9ms), and the worst read performance came from the Seagate-loaded SMB system (1,150.2ms). Fixed an issue where Windows File Explorer might not update file deletion or removal in real time when folders are mounted via SMB. Enhanced the compatibility of the imported user list, providing clearer error messages when the imported file contains syntax errors.
