DS416slim's high performance is paired with low power consumption, as DS416slim consumes only 17.17 watts in average during activity.
DS416slim has been designed for convenient maintenance and cleaning. The four hot-swappable trays are easily accessible, and 2.5" hard drives can be replaced on the fly if needed. In addition, the fan module situated at the bottom of the unit can be removed in a breeze in case of malfunction.

DS416slim runs DiskStation Manager (DSM), the most advanced and intuitive operating system for NAS devices.
