Description
Synology DS1520 Dubai
The Synology DS1520 Dubai is tailored for small offices and IT enthusiasts. With two integrated M.2 2280 SSD slots and Synology SSD Cache technology, it empowers users to enhance system I/O and application performance. The storage design is scalable, allowing a small starting point and expansion of storage capacity with the Synology DX517 as data requirements increase. The Synology DS1520 Dubai is equipped with five drive bays that natively support 3.5″ SATA hard drives, as well as 2.5″ SATA hard drives and SSDs, facilitating data storage including videos, music, photos, and documents for up to 2048 user accounts and 2000 maximum concurrent connections.
Operating on the Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) OS, a browser-based system simplifying NAS management, the Synology DS1520 Dubai is driven by a 2.0 GHz Intel Celeron J4125 Quad-Core CPU paired with 8GB of DDR4 RAM, enabling swift access to frequently used files and applications. The NAS achieves sequential read speeds of up to 451.28 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 451.18.
Additional features include two USB 3.0 Type-A ports and two eSATA ports for connectivity to Windows or Mac systems, while network connectivity is achieved through four Gigabit Ethernet ports supporting Link Aggregation and Failover for shared data access across the network. RAID support encompasses RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10, along with Synology Hybrid RAID and Basic RAID, offering performance, data redundancy, or a blend of both. Alternatively, JBOD is available for individual utilization of each drive bay.
Designed for energy efficiency, the Synology DS1520 Dubai incorporates two 92 x 92 x 25mm fans for consistent cooling, coupled with a noise-dampening design for quiet operations. The server supports scheduled power on/off cycles and hard drive hibernation to minimize power consumption and operational expenses. The Synology DiskStation DS1520+ 5-Bay NAS Enclosure operates on 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz, including an accessory pack, an AC adapter, an AC power cord, and two RJ45 LAN cables.
Features
Streamline Your Data Management Experience
The Synology DS1520+ is a powerful 5-bay desktop NAS that brings you a fast and smooth data management experience. Featuring four 1GbE LAN ports with network failover support, the DS1520+ provides 451.28 MB/s sequential read and 451.18 MB/s sequential write throughput with Link Aggregation enabled. The DS1520+ also benefits computing-intensive applications, speeding up Synology Drive and Moments by an average 16%, and boosting Web PHP response efficiency by about 126% as compared to its predecessor, making data management simple and efficient.
The DS1520+ comes with two built-in M.2 SSD slots with Synology SSD Cache technology. Random IO responsiveness can be boosted 20 times faster than spinning drives, with no need to occupy front drive bays. You can add up to 15 drives with two Synology DX517 expansion units for a higher storage capacity.
On-Premises Collaboration & Synching Solution

Running & Protecting Virtual Machines
Synology Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) is an intuitive hypervisor application that lets users easily set up virtual machines and run operating systems including Windows, Linux, and Virtual DSM. With VMM, users can build up a cluster environment with multiple Synology systems while keeping the flexibility to scale out online and migrate virtual machines for load balancing and resource allocation. Disaster recovery features including instant snapshot, replication, cloning, restore, and failover help you fully protect each virtual machine and safeguard your digital assets at no additional cost.
VMM Pro licenses give access to advanced features including remote replication, remote storage migration, high availability, and live migration, helping users further minimize the risk of service downtime and manage IT resources with maximum flexibility.
Automated Surveillance System
With Synology Surveillance Station, the Synology DS1520+ can act as a full-featured video surveillance system. Simply add network-connected cameras and you can monitor their live feeds, play back recordings, and receive instant event alerts right away.
- Works with more than 7300 IP cameras: Pick any compatible model that suits your requirements and budget, or use the LiveCam app to turn an old smartphone into an IP camera.
- No subscription fee: Unlike security cameras that require a monthly cloud storage subscription, all your recordings are stored on the DS1520+, 100% under your control.
- Remote monitoring and control: Access your surveillance system from a web browser, the desktop client, or the DS cam mobile app anytime, anywhere.
- Automation & notification: Set up rules to trigger specific actions when predefined events occur, such as automatically taking snapshots when motion is detected. Get notified by email, SMS, or push notification so that you can intervene in time.
