Overview

The Synology DS224+ 2-Bay DiskStation NAS, bundled here with two pre-installed 4TB WD Red Plus drives, is designed as a turnkey centralized storage solution for small organizations, home offices, and creative professionals. Powered by an Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core processor clocked at 2.0 GHz with burst speeds up to 2.7 GHz, the DS224+ handles file sharing, automated backups, media serving, and lightweight virtualization with ease. The inclusion of 8TB of WD Red Plus storage — drives specifically engineered for always-on NAS environments — means you can set up and start using the system right away without sourcing compatible hard drives.

The DS224+ ships with 2GB of DDR4 RAM, expandable to 6GB for users who plan to run multiple Synology packages or heavier workloads. Connectivity includes two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports for external storage expansion and two RJ-45 1GbE LAN ports that support link aggregation for improved throughput across the network. Running Synology's DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system, the unit provides access to a vast library of first-party and community packages — from Synology Drive and Hyper Backup to Surveillance Station and Docker — making it a versatile hub for data management, collaboration, and automation.
