The Synology DS916+ is a mid-range NAS, aimed at small businesses or home users requiring more power than most consumer grade units. The quad core 64-bit Intel Pentium N3710 and options of 2/8GB RAM suggest that this is more than a traditional file server NAS. This choice of CPU allows for AES-NI encryption acceleration (an otherwise CPU intensive task), along with the power to transcode video if you?re using this as a media server (H.264 and H.265 acceleration). There are 4 drive bays which support 3.5/2.5? drives (both HDD and SSD), resulting in a max. storage capacity of 40TB.
