{"product_id":"synology-ds225-2-bay-nas-bundle-with-12tb-storage","title":"Synology DS225+ 2-Bay NAS Bundle with 12TB Storage","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Synology DS225+ steps in as the successor to the DS224+, and this particular listing pairs the two-bay enclosure with 12TB of storage supplied as two 6TB hard drives. Inside sits an Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core processor alongside 2GB of non-ECC DDR4 SODIMM memory, a combination aimed at households and small offices that want a private storage hub rather than a rented cloud subscription. It belongs to Synology's Plus series, the tier positioned above the entry-level models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNetworking is where this generation makes its most visible change. The DS225+ carries two RJ-45 LAN ports: one running at 2.5 GbE and a second at 1 GbE. That faster port matters for anyone moving large files across a network that already has 2.5 GbE switching in place, and the second port remains available for link aggregation or a separate network segment. Memory is not fixed either, since the standard 2GB module can be expanded to 6GB using the supported D4NS01-4G module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrive choice has also opened up. Since DSM 7.3, the DS225+ works with third-party drives, so owners are no longer locked into a single vendor's compatibility list when the time comes to expand or replace. The bundled hard drives here are described as best-price stock sourced from well-known manufacturers, and may include new old stock — units produced some time ago but brand new, unused, and in perfect condition. That is the tradeoff this bundle asks buyers to weigh: lower cost per terabyte in exchange for drives that have been sitting in inventory rather than rolling off a production line last month.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Synology","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53703770505523,"sku":null,"price":1199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7526\/5843\/files\/41lOSSrg5kL._SL500.jpg?v=1784841025","url":"https:\/\/studio-supplies.com\/products\/synology-ds225-2-bay-nas-bundle-with-12tb-storage","provider":"Studio Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
