Synology DiskStation DS1522+ for versatile data management
Synology today announced the new 5-bay Synology DiskStation DS1522+, the latest compact solution in its Plus line of all-in-one storage devices. It assists users of all sizes to protect data, IT infrastructure, and physical assets professionally and securely while supporting a host of business, IT administration, and productivity applications.
DS1522+ integrates thoroughly as the primary storage solution for smaller setups or as an edge node for multi-site deployments. Powered by DiskStation Manager (DSM) 7.1, it features robust data management capabilities, comprehensive file sharing, collaboration, and video surveillance capabilities.
Scalable up to 15 drive bays with two DX517 expansion units, a fully expanded DS1522+ can reliably host massive amounts of data while taking up minimal desktop or shelf space. A new network upgrade slot enables anytime 10GbE upgrades, while two built-in M.2 2280 NVMe slots can be used to speed up storage performance significantly.
Beyond file storage
Synology storage systems can easily be configured to become a cross-platform private cloud while still giving users complete control over their data. Synology Drive enables intuitive file management and synchronization between platforms like Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, ensuring users' data is accessible no matter where they are.
Synology Photos enables hobby photographers looking to manage their growing collection to quickly pull and back up media from their phones, sort and organize pictures, and make them easily shareable with robust permissions control. Keeping business endpoints, emails, and critical data secured and backed up is more necessary than ever with continuous and emerging cybersecurity threats. The DS1522+, once set up, will automatically conduct data backup, snapshot, and replication automation to ensure files and LUNs stored on it can be backed up to other devices including cloud services.
Synology's Active Backup Suite allows IT infrastructure, such as Windows systems, Hyper-V/VMware VMs, and Microsoft 365/Google Workspace accounts, to be safely backed up onto the DS1522+ and easily restored when needed.
Compact surveillance and application server
The DS1522+ also functions as a full-fledged video management system that provides full local data ownership. Synology's Surveillance Station is a powerful VMS designed for businesses and is already implemented and protecting over 500,000 sites. Flexible ONVIF support and more than 8,300 validated IP cameras make deployment simple and easily suited to each location's requirements.
Surveillance Station makes it easy to set up and manage up to 40 cameras on the DS1522+ with a modern and customizable interface. For larger or multiple building environments, add in floor plans and overlay Google Maps or OpenStreetMap for maximum situational awareness. Retain important footage and increase resiliency with support for backup recording servers, multi-device management (Central Management System), and even support for end-to-end encrypted, simultaneous dual recording to C2 Surveillance.

The Synology DS1522+ is available starting today through Synology partners and resellers at an MSRP of $699.99

I think that the requirement is due to copyright reasons.
Another happy Synology user, especially with how well SSD cache works on DSM 7.1, and with Synology Hybrid RAID (which I don't understand how other companies haven't mimicked yet) combined with bit-rot protected Btrfs.
My cute little DS918+ works great!

I have a 1821+ since May. It was expensive but it's a great machine. Too bad that this machine got announced here... I might have had went with this instead. Got this particular model for the 10gbps option, which I wanted to not bottleneck. I see that Synology is STILL not offering on-board 10gbe on-board for lower-end model... >.>

Love my Synology DiskStations - have for many years.
Currently there is an annoying requirement with the latest DSM O/S update that 'appears' you MUST have a Synology Account to get certain codecs and so forth - once your DSM has updated. This seems somewhat annoying, needing yet another account for something...
Happy to be corrected if someone knows otherwise - can't recommend these highly enough. Run multiple SQL Server instances in Docker Containers.
