Expansion Unit DX513

Volume Expansion & Backup

When running out of hard drive capacity on the Synology DiskStation, Synology DX513

provides an easy way to immediately scale capacity by an additional 5 hard drives. The RAID

volume on the Synology DiskStation can be expanded directly without having to reformat

the existing hard drives, ensuring the Synology DiskStation can seamlessly expand capacity

without any downtime.

Synology DX513 can be used as a dedicated local backup solution for the Synology

DiskStation. When created as a separate volume, the Synology DX513 provides a great backup

solution to its local hard disks in case of system failure.

Reliable Plug-n-use Design

The Synology DX513 is connected to the Synology DiskStation using an expansion cable with

custom-designed connectors on both ends, ensuring a reliable connection. The convenient

hot-swappable design ensures simple and quick hard drive installation and recovery in the

event of failure or when additional drives are to be installed.

Green & Easy to Manage

Deep Sleep can be manually configured to take effect automatically when the system has

been inactive for a period of time. This not only saves energy but also extends the lifespan of

the hard disk. The DX513 will also smartly power on/off with the attached DiskStation, so no

user intervention is needed to keep this system running smartly and efficiently.
