Overview

The Synology DS1621+ 72TB NAS Bundle delivers a high-capacity, ready-to-deploy storage solution by pairing Synology's 6-bay DS1621+ with six 12TB WD Red Plus SATA drives. Built around an AMD Ryzen V1500B quad-core processor at 2.2 GHz and 4GB of DDR4 ECC memory (expandable to 32GB), this NAS handles demanding workloads including centralized file sharing, comprehensive backup strategies via Active Backup for Business, Docker containerization, and virtual machine hosting through Synology's Virtual Machine Manager. The four Gigabit Ethernet ports support Link Aggregation for increased bandwidth and network failover.

The WD Red Plus drives included in this bundle are built on CMR technology and rated for always-on NAS environments, with enhanced vibration tolerance designed specifically for multi-bay enclosures. Synology's DSM operating system provides a mature, browser-based management interface with an extensive package ecosystem covering everything from media streaming to surveillance. A PCIe 3.0 expansion slot accommodates a 10GbE adapter or additional M.2 NVMe SSD caching card, while two built-in M.2 2280 slots allow SSD read/write caching without sacrificing any drive bays. For organizations anticipating future growth, the DS1621+ supports up to two DX517 expansion units, scaling the system to 16 total bays and well over 200TB of raw capacity.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • 72TB of raw capacity provides substantial room for large media libraries, backups, and business data.
  • WD Red Plus CMR drives are purpose-built for reliable 24/7 NAS operation in multi-bay environments.
  • AMD Ryzen quad-core CPU delivers strong performance for simultaneous file serving, backup, and app hosting.
  • Four Gigabit LAN ports with Link Aggregation maximize network throughput for multiple concurrent users.
  • Expandable to 16 total bays via DX517 expansion units for future growth.

👎 Cons

  • Ships with only 4GB of DDR4 RAM, which may need upgrading for virtualization or heavy Docker workloads.
  • No 10GbE networking included — requires a separate PCIe adapter to move beyond Gigabit speeds.
  • Higher price point compared to buying the DS1621+ and drives separately if you find individual sales.
  • Six populated drive bays at 12TB each generate more heat and noise than smaller or fewer drives.
  • The 6-bay desktop form factor requires dedicated space on a shelf or in a rack with a tray.
