Synology DS1825+ Diskless System 8-bay DiskStation (Diskless)

The Synology DiskStation DS1825+ is a diskless 8-bay desktop NAS with an AMD Ryzen V1500B processor, 8GB ECC memory, and RAID support, suited to small businesses and advanced users who need expandable shared storage.

Recommended For

• Small offices that need one central system for workstation backups, shared files, and a modest surveillance setup, with room to add drives as storage grows.
• Photographers, video creators, or design teams with large working files who want local shared storage and backup capacity that can expand beyond a few drive bays.
• Synology users moving up from a smaller NAS who want DSM tools for file sharing, snapshots, backups, and a larger drive pool without switching ecosystems.
• Advanced home users or small teams that want a NAS for file services, containers, or a limited number of virtual machines, with the option to add memory or faster networking as needs grow.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• A small office consolidates shared documents and project files on one NAS so staff can access and sync them across computers and mobile devices; access is centralized, with file versioning available to help recover earlier copies.
• A household or business automates backups for multiple PCs, phones, and virtual machines; scheduled jobs and restore tools make it easier to recover files or devices after accidental deletion or failure.
• A photo-heavy household or creative team keeps a central library of photos and video files and accesses it from different devices; the NAS can also sync selected files with supported cloud services.
• A small organization records footage from multiple IP cameras to centralized storage; Synology positions the DS1825+ for video surveillance, with capacity and camera needs determining the required drive setup.
• A team running virtual machines or business applications uses the NAS as shared network or iSCSI storage; it can centralize storage for supported virtualization setups, while actual responsiveness depends on workload, drives, and network configuration.
• A growing office starts with shared storage and adds drives or expansion units as its file archive grows; the eight-bay layout supports building out capacity without immediately replacing the NAS.
