What customers say about "Key Specs"
Synology DS1515+ 5-Bay Desktop NAS Enclosure
  • Easy drive install and basic setup.
  • It has huge compatibility list for drives.
  • The DS1515+, while functioning, performed everything it was supposed to and worked well. I was quite happy with it.
  • I needed a bigger faster NAS and this fits the bill perfectly. Very easy to fit drives and set up.
  • The drive trays feel flimsy, are plastic, and have no noise/vibration dampening.
Synology DS1517+ 5-Bay Desktop NAS Enclosure
  • It just works, seriously, pop in some drives, follow the web-based setup, and you're up and running.
  • Excellent NAS, performance, quiet and reliable.
  • The possibility of an SSD cache disk are great. That brings real performance.
  • The DS1517+ was an excellent product, easy to use, and drive bays and (less bright) light styles are far better than the older DS415.
  • Great product, easy to set up, loads of features.

What customers say about "Interfaces"
Synology DS1515+ 5-Bay Desktop NAS Enclosure
  • The transfer speeds are quite quick. Great ports.
  • Absolutely love this thing. It's blazing fast to transfer your files to, just be sure your network can support the transfer rates.
  • As a standalone unit for file backup, super easy. I also like the way you can use link aggregation to use all 4 ports to a supported switch for better transfer rates.
  • Great amount of ports. Especially USB.
  • It won't backup to an external eSATA drive reliably because it periodically re-names the drive and this means the backup software can't find it again!
Synology DS1517+ 5-Bay Desktop NAS Enclosure
  • Easy to set up and it just works. Great connectivity options.
  • The software is flawless, it had no issues on my network.
  • A good number of USB ports and their location is great.
  • All ports work stably and show good performance.
  • Unfortunately there is no HDMI connector.
