ioSafe's 1517 has five drive bays, each of which natively supports 3.5" SATA hard drives, as well as 2.5" SATA hard drives and SSDs. It is powered by a 1.7 GHz Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-314 Quad-Core processor, which will allow you to run multiple functions simultaneously, while 2GB of DDR3L RAM will allow quick access to frequently used files and programs. Also featured are two USB 3.0 Type-A ports and two eSATA ports which allow it to be connected to your Windows or Mac system. Network connectivity is achieved via four Gigabit Ethernet ports with Link Aggregation and Failover support, or a separately wireless dongle for Wi-Fi connectivity.

The 1517 runs on Synology's DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system, which helps simplify managing your NAS, as well as accessing and sharing data. A variety of RAID modes are supported, which help provide users with data redundancy, speed, or a combination of both. Supported RAID modes include RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, Basic, and Synology Hybrid RAID. For those who do not require a RAID, JBOD is also available, allowing each drive bay to be individually utilized.

ioSafe has engineered this NAS to be energy efficient. Not only does it use dual 80 x 80mm fans to help keep the system running cool, the server supports numerous scheduled power on / off cycles and hard drive hibernation to further minimize power consumption and operational expenses.
