Synology DS1515+ RAID-6 Initial Performance

The Synology DS1515+ running 4 x 4TB Red drives in a RAID-6 configuration provides reliable storage with specific technical considerations regarding capacity and file system limitations.

• RAID-6 configuration was utilized for increased fault tolerance, providing approximately 7.21 TB of usable raw space while mitigating the failure of up to two drives.
• The underlying ext4 file system has established limits, notably a 255-character file name limit, which is further reduced to 143 characters when encryption is enabled.
• Initial assessment shows that the overall read/write performance and the web interface are reported as fast and fluid for standard use.
