Storage that’s ready to expand when you are
Synology DX525 is a 5-bay expansion enclosure designed for use with compatible Synology DiskStation NAS models.
DX525 features hot-swappable drive bays, enabling users to replace or add drives without powering down the unit, which helps keep systems running without interruption. Dual cooling fans maintain optimal operating temperatures, and its power supply is synchronized with the host NAS, so it powers on and off in tandem.
HDD and SSD support
DX525 supports both 2.5″ and 3.5″ SATA drives and features plug-and-play setup and hot-swap capability for uninterrupted operation during capacity expansion.
Peace of mind while on the go
Whether you have a single Synology NAS or an entire fleet, the Synology Active Insight service gives you a dedicated web portal to monitor health, performance and security from anywhere.
- Get instant alerts for drive issues, overheating, suspicious logins or file activity
- View IOPS, throughput and usage trends—helping you decide when and how to expand your storage and optimize performance
- Adds five drive bays to your existing array
- Create a new storage pool as a dedicated local backup or archive solution
- Organize storage pools by function to improve efficiency
- Expand your RAID capabilities with more bays to support drive redundancy and failover via hot spare

Anytime scalability
Having an expansion unit means your system can grow in real time without having to make room by deleting files. Just like your primary Synology NAS, the DX525 features hot-swappable drives, so you can easily upgrade a drive to a larger capacity on the fly without needing to power down or restart your system.

Integrated local backup
Use DX525 to store local backups in a storage pool isolated from your primary array. This configuration creates physical separation between primary data and backup copies and provides a backup and recovery system that can gracefully recover during an unexpected outage or accidental deletion.

Stronger protection
Storage pools can be changed from one RAID type to another without losing existing data. For example, you can create a RAID 1 or SHR pool on your Synology NAS, then upgrade to RAID 5 or SHR with added drives. Synology Hybrid Raid (SHR) lets you mix different drive sizes and maximize usable capacity, while ensuring redundancy and fault tolerance—advantages sometimes not achievable with standard RAID alone.

One console for everything
Streamline storage management tasks through a centralized interface, thanks to DSM Storage Manager. See at a glance how your storage is set up and how much of it is available across your entire system. Scrub your drives, conduct repairs, manage hot spares and more through easy-to-understand wizards and processes.

Why Synology drives?
Synology hard drives are the result of deep co-engineering with leading drive vendors and are refined through real-world deployment scenarios. The firmware is intelligently tuned for NAS workloads, with adaptive behaviors that optimize performance in RAID environments. It offers more efficient handling of RAID parity gaps, reducing latency and improving sequential throughput.
Proven reliability & compatibility: backed by extensive testing
Synology hard drives offer guaranteed reliability and compatibility, achieved through a comprehensive testing regimen on Synology devices. Spanning over 1,000 stress test cycles and 500,000+ hours, this extensive validation covers core functionality, data integrity, power cycling endurance, data access under stress and transfer performance.
Seamless updates
Firmware updates are vital for preserving data integrity and enabling performance enhancements. With Synology drives, updates are seamless—integrated directly into DSM for automatic notifications, on-system upgrades and batch processing in just minutes. This streamlined approach minimizes downtime and ensures systems stay up to date with minimal effort.
