Does it have a firewall and anti-virus software?** A: The DSM software come with a number of features to prevent malicious attacks. One of my units was hit with a ransomware attack. Nothing import on the unit as it was used for security camera video storage. I believe I was hit with what is called man in the middle hack. My credentials were taken when I periodically logged in to view the camera images. I was not taking the security seriously. Now I have turned on HTTPS and 2FA (two factor authentication). Point is that the features are there to secure you NAS but you have to make use of them. Hope this helps. **Q: would this unit support a NVME cache module?** A: Yes the Synology DS1522+ supports 2 of the NVMe M.2's in mirror (RAID1) for write-back cache, or just 1 of them for read-only cache. (You cannot force it to use 1 of them for read-write). Starting with the year 2022 models, as of date of this review October 2022, Synology no longer lists as compatible any drive except their own brand (vendor-lock). However, if you look at the prior version of this unit Synology 1520+, you'll see other options that DO work like certain Seagate m.2 Ironwolf (but not all of them).. Unfortunately, the Synology DSM 7.1 in these newer 2022 models will currently show a warning anything except their own brand of drives may not support all features and compatibility is not guaranteed either. Customers are not happy about this vendor-lock situation, hopefully Synology will cave in and certify other drives in the future. **Q: Can you install a 10gb nic in here?** A: No, this model does not have the slot for the 10gb nic. You can see this by the absence of a square cutout such as the one on the back of the ds1522+. **Q: How often is the os/firmware patched? i'd like to verify that this nas stays as secure as possible.** A: As needed. I've had a few updates (3 or 4) since I purchased my DS220+ last fall. Your NAS should be behind your router/firewall, and I don't allow access to mine outside of my network/home. Personally, I have no need to access it from the Internet, aside from update downloads. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Review *by A***. on 31 July 2024* المنتج وصلني مفتوح ومستخدم من قبل وغير مغلف من قبل الشركة المنتجة ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***ー on 16 February 2026* 安定した動作に満足しています．特に複雑な設定も不要で管理ソフトも充実しています． ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by E***S on 1 October 2024* tengo instalados 3 discos duros de 12tb iron wolf y todo funciona excelente con un modem wifi6 paso archivos muy rápido, lo uso como respaldo, ademas esta muy bien acoplada a Finder y no tengo que abrir el navegador, paso y organizo archivos desde mi MacBook. ## Frequently Bought Together - Synology 5-bay DiskStation DS1522+ (Diskless),Black - Synology Network Upgrade Module adds 1x 10GbE RJ-45 (E10G22-T1-Mini) - Seagate IronWolf 8TB NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache for RAID Network Attached Storage – Frustration Free Packaging (ST8000VNZ04/N004) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/470381957-synology-5-bay-diskstation-ds1522-diskless-black](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/470381957-synology-5-bay-diskstation-ds1522-diskless-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
