Classic 4-bay NAS, ideal companion for your own cloud

Inherited Synology’s most classic industrial design, Synology DS416j comes with
the latest storage technology to meet the need of home and personal users. Being a
powerful yet budget-friendly model of the Synology J series family, Synology DS416j
features a dual-core CPU with hardware encryption engine, 512MB RAM, one
Gigabit LAN port, one USB3.0 port and one USB2.0 port, standing out as one of
the best values in 4-bay NAS devices available today. DS416j delivers up to an average

112.82 MB/s reading and 101.2 MB/s writing speed under RAID 5 conguration in a
Windows® environment1, which is a 37.33% writing speed increase comparing with its
predecessor DS414j.

The built-in oating-point unit enhances the overall capability of the main CPU, and is
particularly advantageous in speeding up thumbnail processing, making photo viewing
a refreshingly new experience. Running on Synology’s award-winning DSM operating
system, DS416j shares the rich reservoir of applications available in DSM Package
Center.

Cross platform le sharing

Synology DS416j supports comprehensive network protocols, ensuring a seamless le
sharing experience across Windows, Mac®, and Linux® platforms. Windows AD and
LDAP integration allows Synology DS416j to t quickly and eortlessly into any existing
network environment without the necessity to recreate user accounts. Cloud Sync keeps
your Dropbox, Google™ Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Baidu and Box storage in sync with
your personal DiskStation at home. Cloud Station suit allows users to sync les among
multiple devices, no matter it’s Windows PC, Mac, Linux, iOS or Android™ tablets/phones,
eortlessly keeping everything up-to-date. While you enjoy the seamless le sharing, all
the le sharing over the Internet is protected at a high security level through the HTTPS,
rewall, and IP auto-block that supported by DS416j.

experience for your home entertainments. Once congured in your network, DS416j is
able to stream music, photos and videos to DLNA compliant devices, enabling users to

Energy efcient with eco-friendly design

All Synology NAS is designed with energy eciency in mind. The two 80 x 80 mm fans
with the smart airow functions keep the system running cool 24/7. Synology DS416j
consumes relatively little power at 21.6 watts while accessing and 12.75 watts when hard
drive hibernation is enabled. The noise dampening design makes DS416j quiet compared
to PC counterparts. The support of Wake on LAN/WAN, multiple scheduled power on/o
can further reduce power consumption and operation cost.

recyclable packing materials. Synology acknowledges the responsibility as a global
citizen to continually work to reduce the environmental impact of every product
produced.
