Key specs at a glance

Share and access files across your devices

DiskStation Manager includes Synology Drive for file access, sharing and synchronisation. Use it with PCs, Macs, Linux systems, Chromebooks, Android devices, iOS devices or a web browser. Also, on-demand sync can reduce local storage use by downloading files only when needed.

For teams, Synology Drive ShareSync can synchronise data between Synology systems at different locations. Cloud Sync can also keep local copies of files stored with services such as Google Drive, Dropbox and Microsoft OneDrive.

Protect files with backups and snapshots

Schedule or run folder backups to help protect against accidental deletion and ransomware. Hyper Backup can back up the full Synology system, including settings and applications, or selected folders. Snapshot support adds point-in-time recovery for shared folders.

The DS124 can also manage photos and videos, with tools for albums and sharing. For premises monitoring, Synology Surveillance Station works with compatible IP cameras and ONVIF devices.

This desktop NAS measures 71mm wide, 224mm deep and 166mm high. Its single hot-swap bay accepts a 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD. The included 12TB drive is already installed, so you can start with a substantial storage pool.
