At £470 the Synology DS1515 is around £70 cheaper than its non-plussed brother the DS1515+. Both NAS drives feature impeccable build quality and arguably the best NAS operating system in the market. The more affordable DS1515 takes an unknown ARM processo...

The price is cheaper than DS1515but still seems expensive, 2GB of DDR3 cannot be upgraded, Are four Gigabit Ethernet really necessary?
The new Synology DS1515 five bay NAS a budget version of the DS1515+ that launched a few months ago and while the price of the DS1515 is significantly lower, the specification hasn't changed a great deal. The most obvious difference is a change from a qua...

I have been really impressed with Synology DS1515 +. If I was buying a home NAS for £400-700 today, this would be top of my shortlist. It hasn't got the processing power of higher priced devices, but the Quad Core Intel Atom sets it apart from lesser offe...

The DiskStation DS1515 delivers DS2015xslike performance for a portion of the price. It's faster and more efficient while providing better expandability and network features than QNAP's TS651.
Synology could have been more flexible with the DS1515's memory options and we don't think the DS1515should cost nearly 20% more for two extra USB 3.0 ports and the company's Docker app.
