For review we have the latest Synology DiskStation aimed at home users as well as small businesses, the DS1515. Powered by an Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-314 quad-core SoC, we are keen to see how well the DS1515 performs. Out of the box this NAS can handle five 3.5? hard drives, giving it a maximum capacity of 40TB using the latest 8TB drives, while the addition of two DX513 expansion units boosts capacity to a whopping 120TB...

Synology began pushing out their latest DSx15 series almost a year ago now with the release of the DS415play, a multimedia NAS designed to allow home users to centralise their high-quality videos, photos, and music in one place.

The DS415play was built around Intel's Atom CE5335 and to date the majority of the DSx15 series feature an Atom SoC, the DS415+, DS1515+ and DS1815+ for example all feature the Atom C2538.
