Description
Built with a dual-core processor and an AES-NI hardware encryption engine the DiskStation DS720+ 2-Bay NAS Enclosure from Synology is a compact NAS designed to streamline your data and multimedia management. Two built-in M.2 2280 NVMe SSD slots and Synology SSD Cache technology allow you to boost system I/O and application performance, while a scalable storage design lets you start small and expand the overall storage capacity as your data grows with Synology’s DX517 expansion unit. The DS720+ is equipped with two drive bays that are capable of natively supporting 3.5″ SATA hard drives, as well as 2.5″ SATA hard drives and SSDs. Using its two drive bays, this NAS will allow you to store and share a large number of files with up to 2048 user accounts and 1500 maximum concurrent connections.
The DS720+ runs on Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) OS, which is a browser-based operating system which helps to simplify managing your Synology NAS. Its CPU is a 2.0 GHz Intel Celeron J4125 Quad-Core with a burst frequency of up to 2.7 GHz, and its 2GB of DDR4 RAM, which can be upgraded to 6GB, allows frequently used files and applications to be quickly accessed. Using its Gigabit Ethernet port, this NAS is capable of sequential read speeds up to 225.98 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 192.21 MB/s, as well as encrypted reads at up to 225.99 MB/s and encrypted writes at 200.16 MB/s.
Also featured are two USB 3.0 Type-A ports which allow it to be connected to your host system, an eSATA port for the DX517, and network connectivity is achieved via the dual integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports that support link aggregation and failover, allowing your stored data to be shared with users throughout the network. Data may also be made remotely available through the free iOS and Android applications. For those who require RAID support, the DS720+ supports RAID 0 and 1, as well Synology Hybrid RAID and Basic RAID, each of which offers performance, data redundancy, or a combination of both. For those who do not require a RAID, JBOD is also available, allowing each drive bay to be individually utilized. When paired with the DX517, RAID 5, 6, and 10 are also supported.
The DS720+ is engineered to be energy efficient. Not only does it offer a 92 x 92mm fan to help keep the system running cool at all times, its noise dampening design, with a rating of 18.4 dBA, makes for quiet operations. The server supports numerous scheduled power on / off cycles and hard drive hibernation to further minimize power consumption and operation expenses.
The Synology DiskStation DS720+ 2-Bay NAS Enclosure operates on 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz and includes an accessory pack, a 65W AC power adapter, an AC power cord, and two RJ45 LAN cables. It is protected by a limited 3-year warranty.

This thing replaced my old QNAP TS231-P. What an upgrade! The web interface is so clean and easy to use. Also, the NVMe drives really speed things up. I got some slow & quiet WD Red HDDs and some dirt cheap PCIe 3.0 M2 drives for $23/each. They’re not on the compatible M2 list, but who cares? If they fizzle out a bit early, I’ll just get some more for pennies.

I now own three Synologys … I believe in their products.

Good little NAS – I use it for a media server and backup for all my devices. It’s easily handled everything I throw at it and done so about 6 times faster than my previous solution (a USB hard drive attached to my router). B&H shipped fast, well packed and everything arrived safely.

I’m running docker (and figuring it out) and am excited about some VM hosting features. Just getting started but it looks like this is exactly what I need.

This is my second 720 .. Installed 7 & 7.1 on it, and ram expansion, but when I installed 2x M.2 caches from Micro Center, they were not seen. SSD’s RMA’d to Micro Center, and DEBUG FILE sent to Synology Support. Unclear if it is 2x dead M.2’s, or Synology not wanting to see EMTEC M.2’s. ????

Absolutely ecstatic with tremendous value and shipping speed with B&H (better than A..z..n). Thank you for starters. With respect to the Synology DS720 – this unit provides big bang for the buck. Just transitioned from a pair of IOmega StorCenter units that lasted f.o.r.e.v.e.r and still run but they are slooow. Love my new disk station with Raid1 and NVMe SSD cache devices. The supplemental apps packaged for use with the DS720 is a robust library … performance and reliability combined with great value makes for a winning solution. Thanks B&H and Synology!

I have been using Synology NAS products since 2012 when I tried my first 2 disk NAS (still working). This particular model works very well for file backup, local file server, and as Synology continues evolving its DSM operating system, it provides other features that can prove useful for people with needs such as running containers (with Docker) or having a personal VPN to use with open source protocols or the Synology private VPN service. I find this 2020 version quite powerful by allowing you to add a solid state cache to accelerate commonly used files; and also adding RAM to the NAS in order to run multiple services simultaneously. I would recommend this unit to someone that needs a simple NAS implementation with 2 disks configured for redundancy.

Old Synology Diskstation topped out at 4 TB so to get more capacity we upgraded to this one and popped in two 12 TB Seagate drives in it. With an addition of two WD Red 256gb NVME drives for caching, performance is top notch. Very responsive while navigating using the browser and for file management on a LAN. Wished it came with 2.5gbe but that’s a higher end model. Really the best you can do apart from building or buying your own custom-built TrueNAS server.
