Here is the **DS1823xs+**. ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2023/02/DS1823xs_front.png) DS1823xs+ - the new 8-bay powerhouse Targeted at small and medium-sized businesses, this NAS has it all. With up to 144TB of raw storage potential without expansions and a **built-in 10G card** with an option for expansion, there is little this monster can't do. The insides of this 6.2 kg machine are powered by **AMD Ryzen V1780B quad-core CPU at 3.35Ghz and 8GB of DDR4 EEC memory** (up to 32GB). It has **two M.2 (NVMe) slots** for both cache and usable volume storage as options (with Synology SVN3400 drives), and main bays can house both 3.5" and 2.5" HDDs or SSDs. ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2023/02/performance02@2x.jpg) ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2023/02/performance01@2x.jpg) Built-in M.2 slots and a PCIe expansion slot On the back of the unit, there is a number of ports. Including a **1GbE management port, two 1GbE network ports, a single 10G port, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and two eSATA ports**. eSATA ports can be used in combination with DX517 expansion units for a total of 18 usable drives. ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2023/02/DS1823xs_back.png) DS1823xs+ back side The last thing that this NAS has is a **single Gen3 x8 slot (x4 link)** PCIe slot compatible with a variety of expansion cards. From NVMe to 25GbE network if the built-in options are not enough. The DS1823xs+ is cooled with a pair of 120 mm vents considering its size, number of drives, and an internal 250W PSU. The noise level as stated in the specifications is at about 23.6 dB with a power consumption of 88W while accessing the NAS and about 28W in hibernation. This device is covered by a **5y warranty** with a price of about €830 (plus tax). Due to its powerful capabilities, the DS1823xs+ can allow from 2000 all the way up to 8000 concurrent network users and that is an impressive number for such a compact device. ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-24-at-23.33.25.png) One thing to note with this model is the **lack of support for the SHR RAID type**. Supported types are Synology RAID F1, Basic, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID 10, so if you are planning on migrating from a device running with SHR, keep in mind that this model does not support it. Finally, disk compatibility. At the moment, the official drive list shows only Synology-branded drives, both HDDs and SSDs. ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-24-at-23.16.25.png) As of Feb 24th, 2023, the DS1823xs+ is compatible only with Synology-branded disks ![](https://www.blackvoid.club/content/images/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-24-at-23.25.56.png) M.2 NVMe slot compatibility While this is not strange considering this model is from the XS+ lineup, don't be fooled by its DS (desktop) size when it comes to compatibility. Always be sure to [check the list](https://www.synology.com/en-eu/compatibility?ref=blackvoid.club) before buying the drives for any model, let alone from a higher end of the lineup!
