Notes:

  1. Based on internal processor benchmarks between DS923+ and the prior-gen DS920+. Actual performance may vary depending on hardware and software configuration, workload, and testing environment.

  2. Performance figures are obtained through internal testing by Synology. Actual performance may vary depending on the testing environment, usage, and configuration. See performance charts for more information.

  3. PCIe add-in cards, expansion units, and storage drives are sold separately. Refer to the compatibility list for compatible devices.

  4. Synology SNV3400 series M.2 NVMe SSD drives can be installed through the built-in M.2 slots to enable SSD caching or create SSD storage pools. Drives are sold separately.

  5. Storage figure calculated based on a RAID 5 configuration. Total storage capacity may vary depending on hard drives used and RAID configuration.

  6. C2 Storage for Hyper Backup and Hybrid Share requires purchase of an eligible annual or monthly subscription. A free trial is available for each newly registered account.  Learn more

  7. Surveillance Station includes 2 free licenses. Connecting more cameras and devices requires additional licenses.

  8. Extended Warranty Plus must be purchased within 90 days of the device purchase date or, if none is available, 180 days of the device manufacturing date. A Synology Account is required for the purchase. The starting date of Extended Warranty Plus additional coverage is calculated based on the purchase date of your Synology NAS. If you cannot provide proof of purchase, the device manufacturing date applies.
