Product Information

Along the top are the usual LED indicators: Status, Alert, and LAN (with the power button in the middle).

Since I plan on a 10 year lifespan with rotating disks, I figure lower temperatures will be better for longevity. Supporting near-instantaneous snapshot technology, DS620slim is an all-around file management solution that fulfills professionals’ needs of advanced data protection. Front Panel: Status indicator; Alert indicator; Power button; LAN indicator; Drive status indicator; 6x Drive tray.
