variety of features. Furthermore, the optional Synology 2.5” Disk Holder provides an easy way for
users to deploy 2.5” hard drives on the DS209, bringing the library quietness, power saving, and higher
reliability for the DS209.
Eortless File Sharing & Backup
Synology Disk Station is designed for data storage and sharing among Windows, Mac, and Linux. Seamless le
sharing across dierent operation systems is an eortless process.

Synology Data Replicator 3 allows Windows users to back up desktop data to the Synology Disk Station.

Synology Local Backup helps to safeguard data by backing up to external hard drives via USB interface with
exible scheduling options.
Oce Applications
Synology Mail Station add-on provides a one step installation and enables Synology Disk Station to be a mail
server that supports Outlook-like Web mail, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP.
Synology Web Station with Virtual Host option allows users to host up to 30 websites on one single Synology
Disk Station. The built-in PHP+MySQL provides the ability to create interactive websites without complicated
settings.
Synology Disk Station supports two USB printers simultaneously, and the Add Printer Wizard simplies setup
process with a wizard.
3rd-Party Application Integration
Following “Synology NAS Server 3rd-Party Apps Integration Guide” on Synology website, users can customize
their Synology Disk Station by installing their favorite applications.
Eco Friendly
Synology Disk Station is designed and developed perpetually with the concept of energy saving. Compared
with average PC counterparts, Synology Disk Station consumes a relatively low amount of power and hibernates
when not in use. This not only helps to save energy but also extends the lifespan of the hard disk.
Synology Disk Station truly earns the title of “green product” because of the unique Scheduled Power On/O
feature, and the smart fan design eectively cools down the system with minimum power consumption, yet
keeps the system quiet on operation.
Finally, all Synology products are produced with RoHS compliant parts and packed with recyclable packing
materials. Synology recognizes its responsibility as a global citizen and is continually working to reduce the
environmental impact of the products we create.
