- Synology DS220+ NAS Hardware Tear Down nascompares.com/2020/06/15/sy...
For those of you that are interested in the newest generation of Synology NAS, you are probably wondering about what exactly goes on under the bonnet. We talk about the CPU and Memory plenty, but what about on the inside? Where does the Synology DSM software get extracted from? Where is the other memory bay? How is the CPU kept cool? There are interesting (if slightly nerdy) questions. Luckily I have a space DS220+ NAS here and I am an interesting (if slightly nerdy) guy who wants to find out. So, let’s take the Synology DS220+ NAS apart and find out what is inside that small black chassis. Alternatively, if you are looking for the DS220+ NAS Review, please find my DS220+ Hardware Review HERE. Now, I’ll go get my screwdriver.
Disclaimer - Please, Please, PLEASE do not try this yourself. I am doing this so you do not have to! I mainly started this to find out how Synology had locked the device to 6GB maximum memory. Do not do this unless you have the technical knowledge to know what you are doing OR are ok with invalidating your warranty. Also, BACKUP YOUR DATA!

You've saved me. I needed to change the fan on my DS 220+ and couldn't find any instructions to do so. Not on Synology or anywhere else. Thanks to your tutorial I've been able to get the job done.
Good salvage of the video with the new voice-over. Nice informative video!
Thank you for this, I found it very useful. I have a DS220j, but unfortunately for me it has rather a noisy fan on board, it literally sounds like a pneumatic drill starting up. The good news is though, I do have an identical size 92mm "be quiet!" fan which I'm going to replace it with, so should make a big difference. Cheers! - Neil (UK).
(update) WOW! I've successfully installed the "be quiet!" fan, and the difference is amazing.. SERIOUSLY QUIET, very happy :)
Thank you very much for your video. I was able to disassemble and repair my DS231+, it is disassembled according to the same system.
Perfect, thanks a lot. In this way I was able to disassemble my DS223 because of the very noisy fan.❤
DS218+ surely doesn't need the hard drive tray to be removed in order to get the complete motherboard out of the plastic cover. All I was needed to do after opening and removing the sliding plastic part is to unscrew the first 4 screws, and by slightly banding the back part of the NAS you can pull out the motherboard together with the hard drive tray just as you can see it on the video. I think taking of the hard drive tray in this video was also unnecessary. Anyway you can take of the first, sliding plastic cover also much easier, if you don't use any tool, but you put your hand into the front opening, turning your palm in the direction of the metal cross bar, and grabbing it with your fingertips from the back (between the plastic and the meal plate) whilst you are pushing the the plastic cover with your thumb up and backwards, away from the metal plate. You may also help with the other hand by pulling the cover upwards and backwards too in the same direction as you thumb does. If you position your thumb under those plastic clips and push them one after other, or a bit stronger exactly in the middle between them over the metal plate that way, the side panel goes off surprisingly easy (compared to that what we se on the video).
However, the video is great, and if you follow it's steps you can't do anything wrong, so big thumbs up for your work, it's very helpful.
Nice video, thank you. I have a question about CPU? CPU is removable or is it soldered?
Thank you for this! All I needed was access to the drive tray clip (which I received broken). Are there such things as replacement slot drive clips? I know its a long shot and I can't seem to find a p/n.
Very curious about that flash DOM as I believe DSM is installed on the hard drive at least on my DS118, is Synology now doing it like Qnap?
You've corned the market in NAS reviews. Anyone else is just an amateur.
Thanks
I suppose you can tear down such and with a couple of PCI-E rise and SATA cables you can put it inside 1U rack enclosure =))
So for $550, I get a plastic case, with cheap components and soldered on memory. No, thank you very much. Thanks for sharing this video. I am sure many would appreciate knowing what they're getting into.
soldered on memory is way faster than having a bus, plus there is a SODIMM slot for 2666mhz DDR4 RAM
Quite late but still: with Synology a lot of the money you are paying are actually for their software, which is quite elaborate & well done and comes for free no matter how many years you use the Diskstation. Yes, the hardware itself is not so impressive, but their software (both OS and packages) is.
Still relevant today lol if you want their software. Build a nas and use red pill lmao garbage
No disassemble

RAM soldada?
This ds220+ has two slots for ram module? One for onboard modul and second for expand?
It only has 1 slot. The internal memory is soldered to the controller board
@@nascompares So when I turn on the NAS I will see 2 GB of ram and I one free slot to expansion?
If the battery drops, will the BIOS be lost? What is there to do?
Maybe only time and date :) But every NAS are designed to work 24/7/365 without disconnecting power, so battery will last very long time before it runs out.
You have a spare DS220 rather than a space one...
