According to our expansion for NAS expert
The Synology DX517 Expansion provides additional storage space for your Synology DS1517(+) or the Synology DS1817(+) NAS. Install up to 5 internal hard drives with a maximum storage capacity of 50TB. If you connect this expansion to your NAS, the device will immediately work without first having to format the disks in your NAS. Manage them in a RAID setups thanks to the Synology DSM software. Connect the device via the included eSATA cable. Does your NAS switch to energy-efficient standby mode? The DX517 also conforms to this mode to save power, and reduce the burden on your internal hard drives.

Installing (if you can still call it installing) goes smoothly with the hd's, connect the e-sata to the NAS and turn it on and go. You can easily expand an existing volume or create a new volume. Personally I have chosen to create a new volume. This has the advantage that one can disconnect the expansion drive and connect it to another compatible NAS if necessary. This immediately recognizes the volume. I tested this with a switch between a DS 918+ and a DS718+. A downside with an extension is that when waking up from sleep mode, the NAS first 'wakes up' and then a little later the extension becomes active again, this can sometimes take 15 to 20 seconds, luckily once active I was not bothered by a bottleneck through the e-sata connection.

Nice solution to expand NAS. Very easy installation (no tools required): plug and play! Manageable via existing NAS. It worked in 1 go!

Works well with the disk drive. The warranty period is nice and long and it has a large list of compatible devices
