Performance & Processing Power

At the heart of the Synology DiskStation DS425+ is a quad-core Intel Celeron J4125 processor, delivering responsive performance for file access, multi-user environments, and multimedia streaming. Paired with DDR4 memory that can expand up to 6 GB, the DS425+ handles large workloads smoothly, from automated backups to simultaneous client access. Hardware-accelerated AES-NI encryption ensures secure data handling without significant performance loss—critical for businesses concerned about protecting sensitive information. With sequential throughput up to approximately 280 MB/s, this NAS meets both speed and reliability for demanding storage tasks.

Storage & Expandability

The 4 drive bays support both 3.5″ HDDs and 2.5″ SSDs, offering flexible storage configurations for performance or capacity. RAID options—from RAID 1 to RAID 6—let you choose the balance between redundancy and usable space. You can also add M.2 NVMe SSDs for caching, boosting read/write response times without sacrificing drive bays for storage. With up to ~80 TB of raw storage capacity, the DS425+ adapts to large file collections, extensive backups, and rich multimedia libraries—all within a single NAS.

Network & Connectivity

Built with dual Gigabit Ethernet ports that support link aggregation and failover, the DS425+ ensures reliable, high-throughput network performance for small office networks. Link aggregation can significantly improve network throughput when dealing with heavy traffic, such as simultaneous backups or multiple users accessing large files. USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports expand connection options—enabling external backups, direct printing, or peripheral integration. These connectivity features make the DS425+ a robust hub for data traffic across your workspace.

Software & Business-Ready Features

Powered by Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM)—one of the most intuitive NAS operating systems—the DS425+ delivers powerful software tools like Synology Drive for private cloud access, Active Backup Suite for centralized device and server backups, and Surveillance Station for managing security cameras. DSM’s responsive web interface makes file sharing, versioning, and collaboration fast and easy. Add cloud sync with services like Dropbox or Google Drive and automated snapshot replication for extra protection. These tools turn the DS425+ into far more than just storage—it’s a complete data management solution.
