Synology Inc. has unveiled the new DiskStation DS213+, a high performance 2-bay NAS server that runs on DiskStation Manager 4.0 (DSM 4.0).
“As the first 2013 model, the new DiskStation DS213+ shows that Synology has outdone itself once again. It delivers the fastest encrypted data transfer rate in the product sector, and yet it offers extreme power-savings at merely 2.64 watts of energy consumption during System Hibernation,” said Chad Chiang, product manager at Synology Inc.
Powered by a dual-core 1.067 GHz processor, the DS213+ features an average read speed at 110.36 MB/sec and write speed at 84.31 MB/sec under RAID 1 configuration in a Windows environment. The DS213+ also includes 64bit floating-point unit to greatly accelerate decoding and encoding process.
Synology DS213+ is equipped with an SD card slot for plug-n-save solution, one eSATA port for external backup option, two USB 3.0 ports for higher data transmission, and a hot-swappable hard drive feature to increase system reliability. With noise dampening design and a 92 mm system fan, the DS213+ improves its overall airflow and minimizes the noise level to 19.9 dB(A).
