help Synology DS723+ FAQ
What processor does the Synology DS723+ use?
The DS723+ uses an AMD Ryzen R1600 processor. That gives it strong general NAS performance, but it lacks Intel Quick Sync hardware transcoding, which matters for some Plex users.
How many drive bays does the Synology DS723+ have?
It is a 2-bay NAS, but it can expand with Synology's DX517 expansion unit. Out of the box, most buyers use it with two 3.5-inch SATA hard drives or SSDs.
Does the DS723+ support 10GbE networking?
It supports optional 10GbE through Synology's E10G22-T1-Mini upgrade module. The base unit ships with 1GbE ports, so the faster network option is an added purchase.
Is the DS723+ good for Docker containers?
Yes, it can run Synology's container tools for lightweight services because of its Ryzen CPU and expandable memory. It is a better fit for file services, backups, and modest containers than for heavy GPU-style media processing.
