One of the largest tech shows in the world is held annually in Taipei, Taiwan, hometown of Synology. While we can be sure that this year most exhibits will be AI-driven, Synology on the other hand will take the opportunity to present some upcoming new high-end systems, as well as upcoming products and services. Among those, there will also be talk about AI, but more on that later on. ### : PAS7700 - new active-active NVMe storage system Just as the end of 2023 and the whole of 2024 was focused on the new **Active Protect appliances** such as [**DP7400**](https://www.blackvoid.club/synology-dp7400-review/), and a few desktop versions, running the latest ActiveProtect Manager, this time around Synology will present their new **PAS series** starting with a brand new **PAS7700** model. The PAS system was already announced and presented last year during the 2024 Synology Solution Exhibition but looks like another year was enough to polish out all the details and present it on this year's Computex. Dubbed a **new active-active NVME** storage system, the PAS7700 is a brand-new **four-unit two-node** product. ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/pas7700_overview-1.webp) [Synology PAS7700 overview#Synology active-active NVMe storage solution for mission-critical enterprise workloads, #PAS7700 announced and revealed at Computex 2025![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/icon/favicon-168.ico)BLACKVOID.CLUBLuka Manestar![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/thumbnail/pas7700_overview.webp)](https://www.blackvoid.club/synology-pas7700-overview/) A quick overview of the new NVMe active-active storage solution ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/active-active.webp) ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/pas_series.webp) The upcoming Synology PAS7700 a brand new active-active NVMe storage system This system will have each 2U node equipped with an **AMD EPYC 24-core CPU** and **64GB** **of RAM** (with up to 1TB). It will have a copper 1GbE management port and dual 10GbE Aquantia connectors. Added to that, it will be running an **AMD EPYC native PCIe NVMe controller**, as well as **another one from ASMedia Technologies**. A total of **48 drives across both nodes**. ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/pas_series_02.webp) PAS7700 supported protocols ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/pas_series_03.webp) Redundant on every level This new system will be redundant on each layer starting from the physical all the way to the protocol one ensuring mission-critical workloads are not interrupted on any level. ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/pas_series_04.webp) There is a chance it will be using a dedicated version of DSM just as the UC models do, but that remains to be seen. It will leverage popular business and collaboration applications offering speed and efficiency for a large number of users and data. ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/pas_series_05.webp) PAS system will be utilising popular backup and collaboration tools that we are familiar with ### : GS-series - long-term data storage and archiving Presented last year during **Synology Solution Exhibition 2024**, the **GridStation** lineup will be getting a new, smaller 48-node model, **GS3400**. [Synology Solution Exhibition 2024Synology Solution Exhibition 2024 in Taipei at Computex expo. The upcoming ActiveProtect Manager, new data protection, and GridStation lineups as well as new C2 Surveillance Station.![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/icon/favicon-99.ico)BLACKVOID.CLUBLuka Manestar![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/thumbnail/synology_exhibition_2024-1.jpg)](https://www.blackvoid.club/synology-solution-exhibition-2024/) 2024 Exhibition - GridStation lineup was presented ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/scale_out.webp) Just like the GS6200 96-node version, this smaller model will also be primarily focusing on long-term archiving, making it an ideal candidate for **distributed file and object storage** solutions. ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/scale_out_02.webp) The new GridStation model - 48-node GS3400 ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/scale_out_03.webp) While almost half in size, the GS3400 will probably allow about 10 petabytes of raw storage, which will be more than enough for any demanding system that will be utilizing it. ### : Active Protect Appliance - prepopulated backup solutions As already mentioned, 2024 was mainly dominated by two new products, the **BeeStation**, as well as **ActiveProtect Appliance**. ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/apm.webp) ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/apm_02.webp) [Synology ActiveProtect Manager reviewIn-depth review of the new #Synology #ActiveProtectManager OS running their latest #DataProtection enterprise lineup.![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/icon/favicon-101.ico)BLACKVOID.CLUBLuka Manestar![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/thumbnail/apm_cover-7.jpg)](https://www.blackvoid.club/synology-activeprotect-manager-review/) ActiveProtect Manager is the new operating system controlling the DP lineup of backup devices Both of these will be getting some attention this time around again with new models coming out in 2025. Starting with the DP lineup, the DataProtection models **will probably introduce a new rack version of their DP7000 series**. Last year Synology rolled out their top model the DP7400, a 12-bay turn-key backup solution. ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/dp7200_overview-2.webp) DP7200 - new 12 bay ActiveProtect appliance is coming in 2025 [Synology DP7200 overview#Synology is boosting its #ActiveProtectAppliance portfolio with a new 12-bay turn-key backup appliance, the #DP7200![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/icon/favicon-159.ico)BLACKVOID.CLUBLuka Manestar![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/thumbnail/dp7200_overview-1.webp)](https://www.blackvoid.club/synology-dp7200-overview/) [Synology DP7400 reviewThe NEW #Synology #DataProtection lineup is here with #DP7400 as their current flagship model.

The **DP340**, and **DP320**. A four and two-bay version with less capacity but still an all-in-one backup appliance that will satisfy any small to medium business demand. [Synology DP320 reviewThe smallest member of the new #Synology #ActiveProtect #DataProtection line, the #DP320 is a two-bay turn-key #backup appliance![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/icon/favicon-103.ico)BLACKVOID.CLUBLuka Manestar![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/thumbnail/dp320_review-6.jpg)](https://www.blackvoid.club/synology-dp320-review/) DP320 - a two bay ActiveProtect Appliance DP systems come pre-populated with Synology-branded hard drives both HAT3300 and HAT5300, as well as their SSD SAT5200 series. ### : BeeStation Plus - private cloud faster and bigger Speaking of pre-populated systems, an already mentioned system from last year is getting some upgrades in terms of a new model. A very successful **BeeStation**, a family or small team-oriented **backup**, **sync**, and **share** system has been upgraded to **BeeStation Plus**. ![Synology BeeStation Plus overview](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/size/w1200/2025/05/beestation_plus_overview.webp) [Synology BeeStation Plus overview#Synology #BeeStationPlus is coming soon!

Unlike the 4TB version, the new Plus model will come with some active cooling to help out with heat management due to an Intel 4-core CPU and a faster drive. ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/beestationplus_03.webp) Double the storage, 4x more RAM, and a more powerful and capable CPU Considering that it will be running a popular Intel Celeron J4125 processor, the **Plus version will have the option to support the PLEX media server** platform as well in its latest BSM 1.3 OS version that just came out. [Synology BSM 1.3-65644#Synology #BSM 1.3-65644 version comes as the initial OS for the upcoming BeeStation Plus offering #Plex support![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/icon/favicon-104.ico)BLACKVOID.CLUBLuka Manestar![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/thumbnail/bsm_13-1.webp)](https://www.blackvoid.club/synology-bsm-1-3-65644/) BSM 1.3 mainly focuses on BeeStation Plus support and its new PLEX support ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/beestationplus_04.webp) ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/beestationplus_05.webp) BeeStation Plus will be Plex compatible! This comes as no surprise as the BeeStation Plus model almost equals in specifications as the DS224+ two-bay NAS. [Synology DS224+ reviewBrand new Synology DS224+ has officially been released and here is a full review, including some of the DSM 7.2 features, speed tests, and more!![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/icon/favicon-105.ico)BLACKVOID.CLUBLuka Manestar![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/thumbnail/ds224plus-1-1.jpg)](https://www.blackvoid.club/synology-ds224-review/) Review of the DS224+ DS224+ is a home and small-business NAS device that is powered with DSM OS and offers a lot of possibilities for its users, including support for PLEX transcoding thanks to **Intel's QuickSync** technology that is part of this particular Celeron lineup. There is no doubt that this BeeStation version will become more appealing to customers compared to last year's model due to its specification upgrades. ### : VSaaS - Synology Surveillance Station in the cloud One more platform that was also glimpsed at the 2024 Exhibition show was Synology's new upcoming **C2 Surveillance** (VSaaS). A cloud-hosted video monitoring built on top of their popular on-prem **Surveillance Station** platform. ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/vsaas.webp) ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/c2_surveillance_2025_announcement-1.webp) [Synology C2 Surveillance announcementDuring Computex 2025, #Synology also introduced the upcoming new scalable cloud-based surveillance platform called C2 Surveillance.![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/icon/favicon-167.ico)BLACKVOID.CLUBLuka Manestar![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/thumbnail/c2_surveillance_2025_announcement.webp)](https://www.blackvoid.club/synology-c2-surveillance-announcement/) The new upcoming C2 Surveillance platform announcement ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/vsaas_02.webp) With the introduction of their branded on-prem and cloud surveillance cameras that will also be presented this year, it was logical to have a cloud version of their surveillance system. ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/vsaas_05.webp) Both on-prem and cloud versions of Synology's popular surveillance system [Synology BC500 & TC500 cameras reviewToday #Synology officially released the new BC500 and TC500 POE cameras starting a new line of devices for the company.![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/icon/favicon-106.ico)BLACKVOID.CLUBLuka Manestar![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/thumbnail/bc500_tc500_review.jpg)](https://www.blackvoid.club/synology-bc500-tc500-cameras-review/) PoE-powered on prem surveillance cameras the BC500 and TC500 [Synology CC400W camera reviewFollowing the two PoE cameras from 2023, Synology is rolling out its first wifi-only license-free indoor model, the CC400W #Synology #surveillance![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/icon/favicon-107.ico)BLACKVOID.CLUBLuka Manestar![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/thumbnail/cc400w_review-1.jpg)](https://www.blackvoid.club/synology-cc400w-camera-review/) Another on-prem version of their first wifi surveillance camera the CC400W ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/vsaas_03.webp) ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/vsaas_06.webp) Looks like there will be a new rack-based DVA/NVR model along with a new PoE switch To make all this work not just for the cloud but on-prem as well, **Synology will introduce a rack-based NVR model** to expand on the existing 2021 DVA3221 and the DVA1622\. Along with that, a **new PoE network switch** and a few more cameras both for on-prem and cloud. Just like the hard drive lineup, **Synology will come out with its branded MicroSD cards**. It is still unclear if these will be exclusive, or will Synology cameras continue to work with other "third-party" cards. Considering how valuable this line of products is to the company it comes as no surprise that it wants to expand its portfolio with both new hardware and C2 services. ### : AI productivity suite About a month ago, Synology rolled out (currently still in beta) their upcoming integration with AI. ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/ai_console.webp) [Synology AI Console#Synology #AIConsole beta is here.

That means that soon we will have AI support inside all office apps that Synology offers. This was first announced back at Computex 2023, but still no working beta until a month ago. [Synology & generative AI support in Synology Office and MailPlus#Synology presenting their AI-supported Office and MailPlus platforms as part of the Computex 2023 expo.![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/icon/favicon-109.ico)BLACKVOID.CLUBLuka Manestar![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/thumbnail/synology_ai-2.jpg)](https://www.blackvoid.club/synology-generative-ai-support-with-synology-office-and-mailplus/) ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/ai.webp) ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/ai_02.webp) Another addition to the whole Office suite is a new version of their popular [Synology Chat](https://www.blackvoid.club/synology-chat-self-hosted-and-private-chat-platform/) platform, called **Synology ChatPlus**. Just as Chat was Synology's answer to SLACK, Discord, and other channel-bassed platforms, so will ChatPlus try to be the answer to Microsoft Teams.

While those are using Jitsi as their backend, it will be interesting to see how the new Synology Meet will work and what prerequisites and features will it have. ### : X25 lineup refresh Last but not least, the X25 model refresh. Synology will be coming out with about half a dozen new models in the first half of this year. Their plus 4-bay model, the DS925+ has already been released, as well as their new five and eight-bay.

Looking at all the announcements for the upcoming period it is clear that the company is moving to a more straightforward direction towards business and enterprise market segment. ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/synology_disk_policy_2025-1.webp) [New 2025 Synology disk compatibility policyNew 2025 Synology disk compatibility policy regarding disk support in upcoming new NAS models![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/icon/favicon-114.ico)BLACKVOID.CLUBLuka Manestar![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/thumbnail/synology_disk_policy_2025-3.webp)](https://www.blackvoid.club/new-2025-synology-disk-compatibility-policy/) ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/x25.webp) As a result, the new policy is important to consider if you're planning to purchase a new NAS with third-party disks. Drives not included on the compatibility list will be unverified or potentially incompatible. For X25 devices, if you wish to maintain technical support and warranty, it's crucial to use only drives from the compatibility list. This doesn't imply that third-party drives won't work with new models, but it may take time for them to receive Synology's approval. In the meantime, ensure you use the listed drives only. ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2025/05/end.webp) That about covers the upcoming Computex 2025 event and new hardware, software, and services from Synology.
