    We take a deeper look at everything Synology launched at Computex 2025


    Synology took a pretty grounded approach at Computex this year, focusing on storage, backup, and surveillance solutions for both home users and enterprise customers. From simplified private cloud to all-flash performance monsters, it was all about control, privacy, and smart management, with the barest hint of AI.

    The new BeeStation Plus is Synology’s answer to the mess of scattered photo backups and never-ending cloud subscription fees. Built with families in mind, it handles automatic photo syncing from smartphones, imports from iCloud Photo Library, and multi-device backups. It also supports Plex for local media streaming duties. The BeeStation Plus takes a simplified approach, with no NAS experience required, and a clear focus on privacy and control. Think of it as a replacement (or augmentation) of your iCloud or Google Photos account, minus the ongoing fees.

    We especially like that the BeeStation Plus is more than just a media machine. For example, you can pair it with Synology’s new CC400W AI camera, and the NAS becomes a surveillance hub – storing footage on-device with no third-party cloud involvement. The downside is that it doesn’t run Synology DSM, so doesn’t support third party cameras. If you want to record from your existing cameras or doorbell, you’ll need a fully-featured NAS like the DS225+.

    Under the hood, the BeeStation Plus runs a quad-core Intel Celeron J4125 with 4GB of DDR4 RAM and 8TB of preconfigured internal storage. It’s a modest CPU but well matched to its role, and you also get 1GbE networking, USB-C and USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, plus passive cooling so it can run near silently. The NAS is also compact enough (148 x 62.6 x 196.3 mm) to tuck onto a shelf or desk without drawing attention.
