Synology Announces DiskStation DS419slim

Synology announced their DiskStation DS419slim, a nas with a place for four 2.5 "storage disks and a cubic housing of relatively limited size. The new nas can have a maximum of 20TB of storage on board.

The unique four 2.5" HDD/SSD support and its ultra-compact design make DS419slim come with more flexibility in both RAID configuration and deployment. Putting everything in the palm of your hand, DS419slim delivers higher capacity within a reasonable budget.

  • Portable cube-shaped design with the longest length less than 15cm and a weight of just 700 grams
  • Supports 20TB maximum raw capacity with 4 x 5TB 2.5" drives
  • Flexible in RAID5/RAID6 configuration with four 2.5" hard drives or solid-state drives for better data protection

There are four hot-swappable slots for 2.5 "HDDs or SSDs and the sequential read and write speed is up to 223 MB/s and 94MB/s. 20TB. The units is powered by a Marvell Armada 385 88F6820 dual-core with a clock speed of 1.33 GHz. The standard 512MB ddr3l-ram is present. There are USB 3.0 ports on the front and back and Synology has fitted two-gigabit LAN connectors. The suggested retail price sits at 399 euros.

I'm having a really hard time justifying the increase in price from €299 to €375 (retail prices here for the 416slim and 419slim).
- They both have the same CPU, it just seems the 419 has a 1.33GHz marvell chip, whereas the 416 has a 1.0GHz apparently, even though they are both noted as "Marvell Armada 385 88F6820".
- Both have 512MB DDR3(L).

The 419 has slightly faster reads/writes, but that is probably due to the CPU speed increase.

It being one of the only 2.5in NAS available, its in a park of its own, but still hard to justify the price increase.
Maybe there is extra stuff in there, but I can't see it (and they would have shouted it from the rooftops in the press release).

You will agree this poses a lot of cons for this size.
2.5 inch HDDs are a lot more expensive than their 3.5 inch counterparts. And for SSDs it would be a shame to run 20TB of SSD space at 220MB/s read and 95MB/s write.

Cheapest SSD with more than 3TB size and SATA is
Micron 5210 ION with 3.84TB for more than 400 Euros a piece.
Cheapest HDD is Seagate Barracuda Compute with 4TB for 130 Euros a piece, with 3 models of 2.5 inch HDDs which are bigger than 4TB at all.

Companies tend to run clusters of storage, but not these ...

So who should buy this? I honestly see no audience for those as you can get the same for about half the price as 3.5 inch form factor.

The CPU & network interface do not seem to make sense, at least why no 10Gge to go along with fast SSD network storage? Not sure I see a logic for this product either, especially at the price of having it populated.

A regular tiered nas, while being substantially bigger, would make more sense IMO.
