Synology DS224+16tPL 16TB NAS DiskStation with WD Red Plus Drives

The Synology DS224+16tPL bundles the DS224+ 2-bay NAS enclosure with two 8TB WD Red Plus hard drives, giving you a ready-to-deploy 16TB network storage solution right out of the box. At its core is an Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core processor clocked at 2.0 GHz with burst speeds up to 2.7 GHz, paired with 2GB of DDR4 memory. This hardware foundation runs Synology's DiskStation Manager operating system, which transforms the unit into a versatile home or small-office server capable of centralized file storage, automated backups via Synology Drive and Hyper Backup, photo management through Synology Photos, and media streaming with Video Station or Plex.

Connectivity is handled through dual Gigabit Ethernet ports that support link aggregation for increased throughput or failover for reliability, alongside two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports for external storage or UPS monitoring. The included WD Red Plus drives are purpose-built for always-on NAS environments, featuring CMR recording technology and a workload rating of up to 180 TB per year. Synology's built-in security tools — including automatic security updates, firewall configuration, two-factor authentication, and the Security Advisor utility — help protect your data from evolving threats. Whether you configure the drives in RAID 1 for full redundancy or SHR for flexible storage management, this bundle delivers a reliable and capable storage platform for users who want a straightforward path to centralized data management.
