Thank you for reaching out. The Synology NAS DS1520+ indeed supports expansion with additional drive units. Specifically, this model can accommodate up to 15 drives in total, including the ones installed in the main unit.
For expanding your storage capacity, you can consider adding two expansion units of DX517, each capable of hosting five additional drives. This configuration will allow you to effectively increase your storage capacity while maintaining compatibility with your DS1520+.
If you have any further questio
