New To The Charts: Synology Ds1010+

[rodo37]

The Synology DS1010+ has been added to the NAS Charts.

The DS1010+ is a five-bay RAID 5 / 6 NAS that is expandable to ten bays by the addition of an eSATA-connected DX510 expansion cabinet. Its non-lockable disk trays can accept both 2.5" and 3.5" SATA drives, which are hot-swappable. Drives can be configured in Single Disk, JBOD, RAID 0/ 1/ 5/ 6/ 5+hot spare volumes. Multiple volumes and online RAID level migration and capacity expansion are supported.

The 1010+'s cabinet is a bit more streamlined than that of its predecessor, the DS509+, which the 1010+ appears to replace. Indicators and ports shown in Figure 1 include two Gigabit Ethernet, four USB 2.0 and one eSATA ports. There is no USB port on the front panel and a single VGA port for console monitor attachment on the rear panel.
