4.1 out of 5 stars |
From the manufacturer
Scalable performance that fits in any environment
What's different?
With two bays and the ability to expand to seven, DS725+ is a popular choice for users who need reliable, mutli-user file sharing, efficient backup options, and work collaboration tools in a quiet, compact form factor.
At 17.9 dB(A), the sound level is quieter than a whisper and close to the ambient noise of a very still room or a quiet library at night.
Pair DS725+ with Synology RT6600ax or WRX560 to maximize 2.5GbE connectivity. Enjoy high-speed transfers and secure your network with VLANs, threat prevention and web filtering — all through a familiar Synology interface.
When SSD cache makes perfect sense
Utilize M.2 NVMe SSDs to create an SSD cache when your workload involves frequent access to small, random files or repeated read/write operations.
- Deploying multiple containers
- Scrolling through large photo collections
- Running a file server with relatively small files accessed concurrently
When you need more speed
Utilize SATA 2.5” SSDs for demanding workloads like databases to achieve fast response, low latency and quiet operation.
- Ensures consistent performance under heavy I/O loads
- Reduces latency for time‑sensitive applications
- Operates quietly, ideal for offices or workspaces where noise matters
- Built-in 2.5GbE port and over 276/224 MB/s sequential read/write
- Improve efficiency by adding SNV3000 or SNV5000 series M.2 SSDs without sacrificing a drive bay
- ECC RAM ensures error-free, reliable performance under heavy workloads
- Add an extra five drive bays at any time with the DX525 expansion unit
- Use built-in tools to back up data on PC, Macs, mobile and cloud services
- Deploy a hybrid cloud to scale storage capacity seamlessly via Synology C2 cloud
- Synchronize files across locations and devices automatically

Zaphod BeeblebroxReviewed in the United States on January 21, 20265.0 out of 5 stars Very good house NVR system for the price.
Verified PurchaseI use these more for NVR Camera systems. Now that Synology has stopped stunt with forcing you to use expensive synology drives, this system works great. I already had two WD Red drives and they fired right up. The other thing that's good about Synology Camera system is they use almost any brand of camera, as long as the camera uses the industry standard ONVIF. I used this system to replace a 10 year old HikVision NVR which only worked on Internet Explorer. Almost all Synology systems come with a 2 camera free license, so to add more cameras runs about $50/camera one time license fee.
As to the DS725+, this is one of the best values for the money Synology has. It's small, and for a NVR system, two disks in mirror mode provides enough backup to keep the system going for a while. It's using very little power compared to the older HikVision system and the DS725+ understands a much newer [H.265 and H.265+] standard. So I'm using less local bandwidth and saving on storage space while getting a clearer picture.
BAR9701Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 20251.0 out of 5 stars Synology NAS has bigger problems that what brand of disk you are using ....
Verified PurchaseUnfortunately Synology DS NAS's quality and support are not what they use to be. I have owned and installed DS415, DS416, DS718, DS920, DS923 over the last decade. I ran into problems with the new DS725+ as DSM would not create a Storage Pool after many attempts (over 2 days) and two phone calls with Synology including an escalated Ticket. I wound up myself self diagnosing the problem before Tech Support followed up with an email that asked for the same information that I provided verbally to two prior Tech Support personnel ... waste of my time. The Change in October, 2025 by Synology's CEO to allow you to use disk other than Synology is not really endorsed by Synology despite what was communicated in the Press. I installed previously installed HGST NAS drives that worked in older Synology systems successfully even though Synology has a big warning label telling you the disk are not compatible with the DS725+ which means Synology is not supporting the HGST disk drives - the company they bought to now sell their own (Synology) NAS drives. After I installed HGST NAS Drives in DS725+ successfully, I was able to upgrade to Western Digital Purple drives (that previously kept stating Storage Pool error messages). Ironically WD Purple drives were recommended by Synology when I called support years ago. I do not know what is going on at Synology, but they appear to be falling on their own sword. I would recommend for the future you avoid Synology (believe me I have been a big fan over the last decade and recommended their equipment to small and mid-sized businesses and personal home users) however the problems they created themselves plus the additional quality problems with little to no service is not a recipe for a happy relationship with your NAS provider. Hope this helps.
Dusty DinoReviewed in the United States on November 27, 20255.0 out of 5 stars Great option for personal or small business use.
Verified PurchaseSynology is a great NAS for personal and small business use, despite their recent attempt at drive restrictions. I have a competitors NAS running UGOS, and there is no comparison. DSM is much better, even running on lesser hardware. I picked up the DS725+ as a backup for my DS1522+. And also to run some additional containers & VM's. It performs great as expected.
Is it possible that Synology pulls their drive restriction nonsense again? Yes. Would I prefer to be able to bring my own drives? Absolutely. Would a drive restriction deter me from buying another Synology? Not unless their competitors catch up with features and performance.
