The Synology DS225+ is the latest two-bay NAS in Synology’s refreshed 2025 product lineup, replacing the DS223+. While this new model retains the same Intel J4125 quad-core processor, its networking and expansion capabilities have been modernized to meet current performance expectations. The key upgrade is the transition from 1GbE to dual 2.5GbE network ports, a long-overdue enhancement that provides significantly improved data transfer speeds and multi-user accessibility.
