DiskStation DS716+ NAS Server

High-speed data transfer and hardware encryption engine

Equipped with a quad-core processor and AES-NI hardware encryption engine, DS716+ delivers blazingly fast file transfer speeds — even when handling encrypted data. With Link Aggregation enabled, DS716+ delivers average reading and writing speeds of 223 MB/s and 137 MB/s respectively, while encrypted file transfers retain an astoundingly similar level of performance, exceeding 218 MB/s reading and 141 MB/s writing. That means you can safeguard data without sacrificing performance.

Dual LAN ports for failover and Link Aggregation support

Equipped with two Ethernet ports featuring failover and Link Aggregation support, DS716+ ensures continual network uptime even if LAN connection malfunction occurs on one port, reducing the chance of service disruption and costly downtime. Link Aggregation improves connection speeds beyond the limits of a single network cable or port.

Easy installation, hassle-free maintenance

Easy installation and hot-swappable hard drive support ensures easy maintenance and continuous service uptime should a hard drive need replacement. In addition, DS716+ incorporates a passive cooling design to reduce dependency on the dedicated processor cooling fan, thus mitigating any critical point of failure.

USB 3.0 and eSATA ensure speedy transfers to external storage

DS716+ boasts USB 3.0 and eSATA ports to connect to various kinds of external storage devices, while ensuring fast and efficient file transfer speeds. Support for USB 3.0 offers transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps (about 10 times faster than USB 2.0), meaning it takes less time to transfer data to external hard drives while consuming less power.

4K Ultra HD video transcoding

Powered by a hardware-accelerated transcoding engine, DS716+ allows you to transcode and stream H.264 4K / 1080p videos to high-definition TV, digital media players, mobile handsets, and computers in the required format, making it easy to watch videos without having to install a 3rd party player.

Award winning OS - DiskStation Manager

Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) is a sleek, browser-based operating system running on every DiskStation and RackStation, which makes managing your Synology NAS a breeze. Featuring an intuitive user interface, DSM makes accessing and sharing your data smarter and simpler. Synology's Package Center lets you download and install useful add-on packages designed specifically for individual or business needs, meaning you can enjoy more entertainment in your life or better productivity at work.

Seamless storage solution for virtualization environments

DS716+ provides seamless storage solutions for virtualization environments, including VMware, Citrix, and Microsoft Hyper-V. With VMware vSphere® 5 & VAAI integration, DS716+ helps offload specific storage operations and optimizes computation power in VMware environments. Windows ODX support speeds up data manipulation as the data transfer is offloaded. iSCSI also lets SMB users consolidate storage into data center storage arrays while providing hosts with the illusion of locally-attached disks.
