Amazon is now offering the very first discount on the new Synology 2-Bay DS223j NAS. Having been revealed earlier this summer, the new model sells for $154.99 shipped. It drops down from the usual $190 price tag in order to save you $45 and mark a new all-time low. The perfect starter NAS, Synology refreshed its most affordable model on the market with much of the same 2-bay design as before – just now with some internal upgrades. It comes powered by a 1.7GHz chip, with double the memory as before. There’s also now a USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port as well as Gigabit Ethernet, to make this an ideal Time Machine backup companion. Get all of the details in our launch coverage. Though if you need a little more power, we’re tracking a more capable NAS discount below.
Amazon is now also offering the Synology 5-Bay DS1522+ NAS for $579.99 shipped. Down from $700, this $120 discount is the second-best price cut we’ve seen to date. It is still one of the first chances to save since its debut last summer, and comes within $20 of the all-time low. We last saw that price live on Prime Day, with today’s offer marking only the second chance to save in 2023. As you’ll know from our hands-on review, this is one capable piece of always-on storage and may very well be one of the last NAS you’ll ever need. We break that down below the fold.
The new DS1522+ features a 5-bay design that can hold up to 80TB of raw storage. More than capable of handling Plex transcoding and other media server needs, it won’t break a sweat with Time Machine backups, either. Though the most exciting part is that it supports up to 796MB/s transfers and can be upgraded with a 10GbE network card down the line.
