The Synology DiskStation DS1513+ is a massive network-attached storage (NAS) drive that's ideal for use as an office server. It supports multiple RAID configurations, so it can be optimized for speed and security, and it comes with lots of business-friend...
Abstract: Contributor Ike Leus is a long-time AkihabaraNews.com reviewer.• • •Introduction It's been a while since we last got to test a new Synology unit. No need for despair, today we got our hand on their latest iteration of their 5-bay series a.k.a the DS1513+...
The DS1513+ NAS from Synology is another impressive product which sports five bays with redesigned plastic trays and the usual Intel Atom Dual Core CPU at 2.13Ghz along with 2GB of RAM. The memory can be upgraded up to 4GB if needed by simply removing...

Overall, the DS1513+ is an excellent device in both what it can do and in how much raw data storage it can handle. In our time with the unit we found the DS1513+'s performance and reliability to be excellent and quite frankly found its ability to meet the...
Increased connectivity over previous generation (4 Ethernet ports), Utilizes drives well regardless of spindle speed, Very easy to setup and get operational
SMB performance lower than iSCSI
The Synology DS1513+ 5-bay NAS enables SMBs to scale to growth with raw capacity that ranges up to 20TB natively and can be augmented by DX513 units for up to 60TB. The system also delivers robust performance with link aggregation functionality that can u...
The Synology DS1513+ does an excellent job of filling the gap between the expensive DS2413+ and the much smaller 2-bay DS713+. Hardware wise the DS1513+ is virtually identical to both models, though like the DS2413+ it comes loaded with 2GB of RAM wher...
Synology's DS1513+ is a nicely designed and build piece of hardware. It brings a few very solid features to the table that are missing from this particular segment of the market. By including 4 Gigabit ports on the DS1513+ Synology is giving you the optio...
Abstract: Setting up the Synology NAS was comparatively easy — we simply dropped in two drives, plugged it into the network and booted it up. No discovery software was needed (or included), with Windows immediately detecting the NAS and letting us launch the web pa...
