Synology today released the DiskStation DS1823xs+, an 8-bay server with built-in 10Gbps Ethernet capability.
Per Synology’s naming convention, the xs+ signifies this is a high-end desktop server designed specifically for business users.
Still, running Synology’s DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system, it shares the Plus notion of non-xs servers, such as the DS923+, meaning it can host two Synology DX517 expansion units to up the total storage bay to eighteen.
The DS1823xs+ is out, and it's only supporting pricey Synology drives
NVMe-as-storage support
Another significant notion about the DS1823xs+ is, like the DS923+, it supports NVMe SSDs both for caching and storage pools. It’s the first in the xs+ family that gets this capability.
Synology says the DiskStation DS1823xs+ is available now with the suggested price of $1799.99 (diskless).
M.2 NVMe storage volumes4 are now supported on more systems. Choose between speeding up larger volumes with SSD cache or creating nimble all-flash storage volumes.
Now also available on:
22 Series: DS1522+
21 Series: DS1621+, DS1821+, DS1621xs+
