Synology RS1226+ 8-Bay RackStation NAS

The Synology RS1226+ is an eight-bay 2U RackStation NAS for small and medium businesses that need central storage, backup and surveillance in a rack-mounted chassis. Its AMD Ryzen V1500B four-core, eight-thread processor and 4 GB DDR4 ECC memory provide a capable base for shared files, synchronisation, endpoint backup and business applications. Dual 2.5GbE RJ-45 ports support faster transfers and network redundancy, while two M.2 2280 NVMe slots support compatible cache or storage-pool configurations. A Synology RX426 expansion unit can extend the system to twelve drive bays. The enclosure is diskless, so compatible SATA drives must be purchased separately and checked against Synology’s current compatibility list. Rack rails, power, cooling and network planning are part of the installation, making professional setup a sensible choice for most deployments. Review the supported DSM version, drive firmware and volume plan before ordering; capacity and performance vary with the installed drives and configuration.
