In today’s video, we’re taking a first look at the brand-new Synology DS1525+ — a powerful 5-bay NAS that brings faster connectivity, NVMe support, expansion options, and a big jump in performance. If you’ve been waiting for a NAS that offers the perfect balance of speed, capacity, and future-proofing for creators, home labbers, and small businesses, the DS1525+ might finally be the one. The DS1525+ includes two 5-gig USB ports, dual NVMe M.2 slots for SSD storage or caching, dual 2.5GbE ports (aggregated up to 5Gbps), USB-C expansion for up to 15 total drives, and a PCIe slot for 10GbE upgrades. Inside, it’s powered by the AMD V1500B quad-core CPU with 8GB ECC RAM (expandable to 32GB). Plus, with DSM 7.3, Synology now officially supports both Synology-branded and third-party hard drives, which gives you more flexibility and better value when building your storage array. In this video you’ll see: ✔ First impressions & hardware overview ✔ Drive bay layout & expansion potential ✔ NVMe slot functionality (storage vs caching) ✔ USB & network port breakdown ✔ PCIe upgrade options ✔ CPU & RAM performance expectations ✔ Drive compatibility updates in DSM 7.3 What’s your current NAS setup? Let me know in the comments — Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS, TerraMaster, or something custom? If you’d like me to create a full step-by-step setup and configuration guide for the DS1525+, drop a comment and I’ll make it happen. 👍 If this video helped you, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell for more NAS and home lab content. #Synology #DS1525Plus #NAS #HomeLab #NASReview #PlexServer #DataStorage #SynologyNAS #TechReview Share this video - https://youtu.be/gCGZnkvXwOw 00:00 - Introduction 00:34 - Welcome 00:55 - First Impressions 01:07 - Drive Capacity & Expansion 01:40 - NVMe Drive Support 01:56 - Ports & Connectivity 02:22 - PCIe 10G Upgrade 02:37 - Internal Hardware Specs 02:59 - Drive Compatibility 03:18 - Initial Impressions 03:40 - Outro Subscribe to this channel - https://goo.gl/dRbTqD Channel Support: Buy Tony A Coffee - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/quiktech PayPal - http://paypal.me/quiktechsolutionsllc Earn $100 Cloud Credits from Digital Ocean by signing up at: https://m.do.co/c/41d68f5e11bd DS1525+ Diskless Purchase Link - https://amzn.to/442kcIC Amazon Affiliate Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/quiktechsolutionsl.l.c Disclaimers: This video is not made for or intended for kids.
