Overview

Green, Quiet, and Reliable

The DS409slim is designed to work with 2.5" hard drives. The low power consumption characteristic of 2.5" hard drives will lower your electricity bill, as well as reduce your carbon footprint.

The smart fan design keeps the DS409slim's fan off under normal operations and spinning up at a very low speed only when needed, thus minimizing the noise level.

In addition, 2.5" hard drives have reduced vibration, increased MTBF (mean time before failure), and shock tolerance. It not only extends hard drive's lifespan, but also provides better reliability.

Multimedia & Entertainment

Synology Download Station 2 functions as a 24x7 BitTorrent, FTP, HTTP, eMule, and NZB download center. The newly-integrated eMule download engine allows search-n-download capability with a web-browser without installing additional desktop applications.

Synology Audio Station supports music, Internet radio stations, and iPod playback with connected USB speakers. An optional direction-free Synology Remote allows you to freely enjoy your music. Web-streaming mode allows your music to be shared with multiple users over the Internet.

UPnP support allows users to stream multimedia files with an UPnP Digital Media Adapter (DMA) on a stereo system or a TV-set. Sony PS3 and Microsoft Xbox360 are also supported.

iTunes Server is an easy way to share music to other iTunes clients over the network. Password protection prevents unauthorized sharing.

Easy Storage & Backup

USBCopy provides a plug-n-save solution to store data. With just one touch on the Copy button, it quickly backs up the data on an USB storage device to the pre-defined location on the Synology Disk Station.

Synology Data Replicator 3 allows Windows users to back up desktop data to the Synology Disk Station. Immediate, Sync, and Scheduled Backup are fully-supported.

The Network Recycle Bin ensures all deleted files are recoverable from the recycle bin.

Eco Friendly

Synology Disk Station is designed and developed perpetually with the concept of energy saving. Compared with its average PC counterparts, Synology Disk Station consumes a relatively low amount of power and hibernates when not in use. This not only helps to save energy but also extends the lifespan of the hard disk.

Synology Disk Station truly earns the title of “green product” because of the unique Scheduled Power On/Off feature, and the smart fan design effectively cools down the system with minimum power consumption, yet keeps the system quiet on operation.

Finally, all Synology products are produced with RoHS compliant parts and packed with recyclable packing materials. Synology recognizes its responsibility as a global citizen and is continually working to reduce the environmental impact of the products we create.
