Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What networking performance upgrades does the DS425+ offer over older Gigabit models?
A: The DS425+ features dual native 2.5GbE RJ-45 ports, enabling up to 2.5 times the network transfer speed per port compared to standard Gigabit models, and higher combined throughput when using Link Aggregation or SMB Multichannel.

Q: Can the M.2 NVMe slots on the DS425+ be used as a primary storage pool?
A: Yes. In addition to operating as a high-speed read/write cache to accelerate mechanical hard drive arrays, the built-in M.2 NVMe SSD slots can be configured as a standalone high-speed NVMe flash storage volume.

Q: How can system memory (RAM) be upgraded on the DS425+?
A: The DS425+ comes with 2GB DDR4 memory onboard and includes an accessible SO-DIMM expansion slot that supports an additional 4GB DDR4 non-ECC module, bringing total memory capacity up to 6GB.

Q: How does the DS425+ protect business files against ransomware attacks?
A: Utilizing the Btrfs file system, the DS425+ generates automated, low-overhead snapshots of shared folders and LUNs. In the event of a malware attack or accidental deletion, administrators can instantly roll back files to an uninfected state.
