Synology NAS DX517 5bay Expansion Unit DX517 SATA Retail

5-bay 3.5”/2.5” SATA expansion

Easily add 5 additional drive bays to Synology DiskStation1. Supporting both 2.5” and 3.5” SATA drives, DX517 is a flexible solution supporting on-the-fly volume expansion or serving as a local backup destination.



Online volume expansion

Managed from DiskStation Manager on the host NAS, the additional bays in the DX517 are immediately ready to be used once connected. On-the-fly volume expansion ensures that storage and services on the host are not interrupted during volume expansion.



Hot-swappable drive tray design

The hot-swappable drive trays of DX517 allow easy drive installation and replacement without powering down the system. Screwless drive tray design reduces the time needed for system setup.
