General Features
5-Bay 3.5″/2.5″ SATA Expansion

Online Volume Expansion
Managed from DiskStation Manager on the host NAS, the additional bays in the DX517 are immediately ready to be used once connected. On-the-fly volume expansion helps ensure that storage and services on the host are not interrupted during volume expansion.
Hot-Swappable Drive Tray Design
