Synology DS925+
Score: 88/100Rankings
The Synology DiskStation DS925+ is a high-performance 4-bay NAS powered by an AMD Ryzen V1500B CPU, dual 2.5 GbE networking, and ECC memory with M.2 NVMe caching. It lacks native 10 GbE and requires a separate expansion unit for additional bays. Targeted at small businesses and prosumers needing scalable, reliable storage.
The QNAP TR-004U is a 1U rack-mountable 4-bay expansion enclosure that offers flexible RAID options and hot-swappable trays. Its reliance on USB 3.2 Gen 1 and lack of built-in networking can limit throughput. Ideal for data-center environments needing compact local storage expansion.
