Introduction to Synology
● DiskStation Manager (DSM): The same exact software on different models
● Founded in January, 2000 and Headquartered in Taiwan
● Affordable NAS devices based on Open Source Software with tons of modular functionality (mail server, web server, VPN server, Media Wiki, etc...)

Model Number Overview
● The Prefix: “DS” vs “RS” – Disk Stations (DS) sit on a desk or table, while Rack Stations (RS) are installed into server racks
● The Next Number – The next number indicates the maximum number of hard drives a model can use. Some models are compatible with Expansion Units.

Model Numbers (Continued)
● The Last Two Numbers – The last two numbers stand for the year the model was first available.
● The Suffix: Nothing, ‘j’, ‘+’, and ‘xs’– The j is an entry-level system.
– The plus sign (+) indicates that the unit is part of Synology’s Plus Series.
– The XS / XS+ suffix is for large scale business and enterprises.

Model Numbers: 2 Examples
● The DS715 can use up to 7 hard drives (2 in the primary unit, and up to 5 in an expansion unit). It is a DiskStation, was released in 2015, and does not have a suffix, so it is in the Value Series.

● The devices must be the same model
