The short version
The DS1525+ is Synology's 5-bay DiskStation, built on an AMD Ryzen V1500B with 8 GB of ECC DDR4 expandable to 32 GB, two 2.5 GbE ports and two M.2 NVMe slots for SSD cache. A Gen3 x2 slot accepts Synology's 10GbE module, which raises rated throughput to about 1,181 MB/s read and 1,180 MB/s write. It suits small businesses needing more drive bays. It is expensive for five bays, and 10GbE is an extra purchase.
