The Synology DS625slim marks the return of the Slim series, succeeding the DS620slim, which was first introduced in 2019. Designed for compact, high-speed storage, this new iteration brings networking improvements and retains the six 2.5-inch drive bays, making it ideal for users who require a small yet powerful NAS for SSD-based workloads. While the Intel J4125 quad-core CPU remains unchanged from its predecessor, the DS625slim introduces faster networking with at least one 2.5GbE port, a much-needed upgrade for handling higher-speed file transfers and multi-user access. This NAS is aimed at enthusiasts, creative professionals, and businesses that want a compact, power-efficient system optimized for SSD storage.
