Hi, I’m looking to upgrade the old DS1513+ to a later version.
Would it be worthwhile waiting for the DS1525+?
It sounds like it will be released here in Australia soon.
I would like to set up cloud storage for 4 - 6 family members, my current DS has 15 TB.
Looking to start with 2 x 16 TB with the ability to expand to 80 TB
Thanks in advance
Kind regards
Ray

Should You Wait for the DS1525+?
The Synology DS1525+ is expected to be released soon in Australia. It offers a more modern processor and additional features that can help with performance, especially for cloud storage and family access. It’s designed for both home and small business use, providing good scalability and network options. If you’re looking for future-proofing and a device that will handle both personal and small business use efficiently, this could be a good choice.
Alternative: Synology DS1522+
If you need to upgrade sooner, the DS1522+ is also a great option. It’s already available and offers a solid performance upgrade with a faster processor, more memory expansion, and support for 10GbE networking if needed in the future. This model also supports expansion, so you can grow your storage as needed. It's a reliable option for cloud storage and remote access.
Recommendation
If you're not in a hurry, waiting for the DS1525+ might be worth it for the latest hardware and features. However, if you're looking for an upgrade now, the DS1522+ would still meet your needs for cloud storage, remote access, and expansion potential.
Both models will handle your 2 x 16TB drives and allow for future expansion up to 80TB. It depends on your timeline and which features are most important to you.
