Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) technology
Storage management is easy with Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) technology. SHR is
an automated RAID management system allowing you to easily create and expand
storage volumes and migrate RAID types without requiring details on RAID. SHR
provides 1 to 2-disk redundancy to safeguard your data during drive
failures.
Cost-effective
SHR maximizes the data capacity of your RAID when different sizes of HDDs are
used.
Easy Management
For novice users who have no technical background and still want to protect
their data using RAID technology, a convenient installation wizard will guide
you through all the steps during your first installation.
Scalability
You can add new disks on the fly in Storage Manager with a simple click.
Flexibility
While creating a volume, you can plan ahead and leave empty and unallocated
space for future usage.
Easy file access with QuickConnect
Access files on your Synology NAS over the Internet without the hassle of
setting up port forwarding rules, DDNS, or other complicated network settings.
QuickConnect allows you to connect via a simple customizable address (e.g.
https://customID.quickconnect.to), so that you can instantly access media and
work files on any Windows/Mac/Linux computer, laptop, or mobile device without
additional charge.
