Description
Designed for data-intensive professionals, households, and small studios, the Synology BeeStation Plus (BST170-8T) delivers an out-of-the-box private cloud solution with 8 TB of storage (approx. 6.98 TB usable) in a compact, fanless enclosure. Powered by a quad-core Intel Celeron J4125 processor and 4 GB of DDR4 memory, it achieves up to 2.6× faster mobile photo backups, 3.8× faster web uploads, and 4.8× faster desktop synchronization compared to the 4 TB model. A single Gigabit Ethernet port plus USB-A and USB-C ports enable external backups and sharing with up to eight users—each with independent spaces and snapshot-powered restore points to guard against ransomware. The integrated GPU accelerates on-device AI for local photo organization without sending data to the cloud and integrates with Plex Media Server for hardware-accelerated streaming, turning BeeStation Plus into a versatile multimedia hub. Every unit includes a complimentary three-month BeeProtect subscription featuring client-side AES-256 encryption, plus a three-year warranty for added peace of mind. Cross-platform support via web browsers, desktop apps for Windows and macOS, and mobile apps for iOS and Android ensures seamless access and management from virtually any device.
