Specific improvements include tool-less drive trays that make inserting and removing drives quick and easy, simplified drive lights (one light per drive instead of two), MUCH faster startup time, and modular fan unit that allows you to quickly swap out a broken fan without disassembling the case and without any tools. It comes with the same short length of cable that the old DX1211 did, so like the DX1211, the new DX1215 needs to be situated directly next to the main unit it's attached to.The DX1215 is in fact the same exact case that the DS3615xs comes in, so they look perfect next to each other.You can attach the DX1215 to a DS3612xs, so if you have that older DiskStation, it will work fine. However, you cannot attach the older DX1211 expansion unit to the new DS3615xs, so just keep that in mind if you have a few of these things around. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2022* I bought this to expand my Synology DS2415+. The box came beat to heck and back and it is blatantly obvious that the seller is just trying to pawn this broken item off on someone who is in no rush to try it and will get stuck with a broken unit. While this unit turned on automatically with the base unit as its supposed to, It never successfully linked with the base unit. A green light turns on when this happens and it never happened. Upon installing a hard drive into the unit, again, no green light came on on the drive bay and it was never recognized by the base unit. I tried two different DS2415+ units and a new cable and nothing worked. What a shame. The seller (Price Master Jay, or Peaceful Zone Limited, both business names are listed for this particular item) should be banned from selling here.The DX1215 is an older discontinued unit and the DX1215ii is the replacement. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Build your volumes very carefully. *by G***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2019* It’s Synology what’s not to like? Great customer service, tech support is top notch, they really stand by any warranty issues I have had which are few and far between. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/11259427-synology-12bay-expansion-unit-dx1215-diskless](https://www.desertcart.de/products/11259427-synology-12bay-expansion-unit-dx1215-diskless) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
