Today we are checking out the DS715 and DS215+, both are 2-bay NAS devices from Synology's latest DSx15 series. The DS715 is designed for home to business workgroup usage while the DS215+ is aimed at small and medium businesses. Both come armed with new Annapurna Labs Alpine SoC's and support features such as Hardware Encryption and Link Aggregation?

Having reviewed numerous high-end DSx15 models already, we were keen to check out the more affordable dual bay offerings. The DS2015xs was the first NAS we tested that adopted an Annapurna Labs processor and with inspiring results we were keen to see more.
