More New Synology NAS for 2017 – The Synology DS3018xs 6-Bay

This is a peculiar one and definitely a powerful Synology NAS to keep your eye on. First and foremost it is the first 2018 series NAS, The Synology DS3018xs NAS. Quite a bold statement for Q4 of 2016/17. However the specs are really something to behold and you can expand this device by connecting two of the Synology 12-Bay expansion devices to provide 30 HDD/SSD of RAID storage – so with the 10TB Seagate Ironwolf NAS HDD, you are looking at a potential 300TB of storage readily available (at a price!). With this you also get the Intel Xeon Dual Core D1508 CPU (a Beast) and starting with 8GB of ECC Memory (the best kind) that can be expanded further as needed upto 32GB. Lastly the the unit arrives with 10GBe in case you are worried about the speed of throughput. Definitely one for your high end storage file users to keep an eye on for 2017.

The Synology DX513 will remain in production to service the existing ’13, ’14, ’15 AND ’16 series Synology NAS but you if you are interesting in buying any of the expandable Synology ’17 NAS server devices shown at CeBit, then you will need the DX517 Expansion NAS box.
