A quad-core, expandable NAS promising "future-proof scalability.". Synology has established itself as the go-to name in the world of network-attached storage. The firm's varied portfolio covers everything from home or small-office storage to large-scale business deployment, and having tackled almost every conceivable usage scenario, now faces the enviable task of plugging any remaining holes.

One potential gap has been identified between the DS215+ and the DS713+, with Synology recognising that there has never been a scalable two-bay value series NAS amid its line-up. That changes now with the introduction of the DS715.
