The Synology DiskStation DS225+ is a compact two-bay Plus-series NAS for home backup, file sharing and small-office storage. It uses Intel's Celeron J4125, a four-core processor with Intel UHD Graphics 600, and includes 2GB of DDR4 memory with an official maximum of 6GB. Networking combines one 1GbE port with one 2.5GbE port, giving the model a faster primary connection without abandoning standard gigabit compatibility. The two SATA bays support 3.5-inch hard drives or 2.5-inch SATA SSDs, and DSM provides Synology Hybrid RAID alongside Basic, JBOD, RAID 0 and RAID 1. The processor supports Intel Quick Sync, but DiskBarn should not automatically equate that capability with verified Plex hardware transcoding on this exact NAS; that claim remains separately flagged for testing or authoritative confirmation.
