Volume Expansion & Backup
When running out of hard drive capacity on the Synology DiskStation,
Synology DX213 provides an easy way to immediately scale capacity by
additional 2 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 continues its service during the
capacity expansion.
Synology DX213 can be used as a dedicated local backup solution
for the Synology DiskStation. When created as a separate volume, the
Synology DX213 provides a great backup solution to its local hard disks in
case of system failure.
Reliable Plug-n-use Design
The Synology DX213 is connected to the Synology DiskStation using
an expansion cable with custom-designed connectors on both ends,
ensuring a reliable connection and maximum throughput. The 3.0 Gb/
sec connection speed allows the hard drives in the connected Synology
DX213 to operate as the internal ones of Synology DiskStation.
Green & Easy to Manage
Deep Sleep can be manually congured 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 DX213
will also smartly power on/off with the attached DiskStation, so no user
intervention is needed to keep this system running smartly and efciently.
