Synology DS124 1-Bay NAS – 4-Core 1.7 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 1GbE LAN, 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 – Diskless Tower

Your laptop is your only backup. One crash and three years of invoices, photos, and client files are gone. The DS124 fixes that without the enterprise headache.

Drop in a 3.5" SATA HDD or a 2.5" SATA SSD (you'll need the optional 2.5" disk holder), sit it on your desk, and you've got a quiet 19 dB(A) box sharing files across your network. The Realtek RTD1619B 4-core 1.7 GHz processor handles sync, backup, and remote access without breaking a sweat. Two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports let you bolt on extra storage when the first drive fills up.

No hot-swap bay here — it's a single-drive unit for people who want one reliable copy, not a RAID cluster. Btrfs and EXT4 internally; NTFS, exFAT, FAT, HFS+, and EXT3 externally, so those old drives still work. Power Recovery, Wake on LAN/WAN, and scheduled power on/off are built in.

166 mm tall, 0.7 kg. Fits beside your monitor without eating the desk. 2-year hardware warranty. In stock now
