This gives an extra mounting option for 3.5-inch drives that don’t have the middle screw hole (for example, many of the helium drives). The DS220j is initially set up for 3.5-inch drives, though you can get a bracket adapter from Synology (or many other companies) if you want to secure your 2.5-inch drive with more than just one screw.Īs a side note, the DS220j is shipped with a small metal piece with two circular holes, which can be mounted to the rectangular slot at the front of the interior. If you’re at all familiar with the inside of Synology device, you’ll notice right away it has the same layout as its other 2-bay DS solutions. As such, we were able to easily slide the front panel right off to the side. If the NAS is shipped bare (like ours), both screws have already been taken out on the back panel, which will save you some time when populating the DS220j with drives. Around the back, we have the fan, two USB 3.0 ports, onboard LAN port, a security slot, and the power connector. On the front panel, we have a standard power button and all the LED indicators: a LAN activity light, two disk activity lights, and a status light. Overall, it looks great and feels solid when handled, which is par for the course when it comes to Synology devices. Just like many other Synology NAS devices, the DS220j sports a bright white enclosure with the usual Synology logo on the side that doubles as ventilation. Synology DS220j Specifications CPUģ.5″ SATA HDD 2.5″ SATA HDD 2.5″ SATA SSDģ2 TB (16 TB drive x 2) (Capacity may vary by RAID types) The new 2-bay Synology NAS was bundled with a pair of Seagate IronWolf 4TB drives, which we will be using for our performance tests. Moreover, users can integrate their apps with smart devices via DS Audio, DS Photo, and DS Video, all of work seamlessly with Synology NAS solutions. The DSM NAS operating system features a plethora of apps that focus on file server/management, multimedia, hyper backup, and security. Like all Synology NAS solutions, the DS220j runs the powerful and useful DiskStation Manager (DSM), which allows you to manage your device with ease. The new DS220j is outfitted with a 4-core Realtek 1.6 GHz CPU with DDR4 DIMM inside (up to 512MB), so you’ll be getting a little more performance out of it.

For example, the 218j model had a 2-core Marvell 1.3 GHz CPU inside coupled with DDR3 DIMM slots.

What’s interesting about the DS220j line is that this is a series that Synology has been building on for quite a while now, as they release models about every two years with upgraded components. Capacity-wise, the DS220j supports up to 32TB via two 16TB drives, which is quite a bit for a 2-bay NAS. This line is not about big performance numbers (it quotes roughly 112MB/s in reads and writes), it’s about bringing all the power and features from Synology, as well as way to back up your data on a very reliable NAS device, at a very affordable price point.
