Synology RackStation RS1626xs+ 4-Bay NAS Enclosure

The RackStation RS1626xs+ 16-Bay NAS Enclosure from Synology is an all-in-one solution for central data management, backup, and surveillance. Designed to grow with your business, the RS1626xs+ offers SSD caching support without using up drive bays via two internal M.2 2280 slots and scales up to 16 total drive bays with one RX1225RP 12-bay expansion unit. A full suite of reliability, availability, and serviceability features ensures continuous operation. This unit has four drive bays, each of which natively supports 3.5" SATA hard drives, as well as 2.5" SATA hard drives and SSDs.

The RackStation RS1626xs+ is powered by a 2.9 GHz Intel Xeon D-1726 Six-Core processor and 16GB of DDR4 ECC Registered RAM that may be upgraded to a total of 64GB by installing four 16GB modules into the available memory slots. Also featured are two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one Mini-SAS HD port, and network connectivity is achieved via two 10GbE RJ45 ports with failover support. If you're looking to expand this NAS, there is one PCIe 4.0 x8/x8 slot that supports 25GbE SFP+/SFP28 and 10GbE Ethernet NICs, Fibre Channel HBAs, and more.

The RS1626xs+ runs on the DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system, which helps simplify managing your NAS, plus accessing and sharing data. A variety of RAID modes are supported, which help provide users with data redundancy, speed, or a combination of both. Supported RAID modes include RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, Basic, and F1. For those who do not require a RAID, JBOD is also available, allowing each drive bay to be individually utilized.

Synology has engineered the RS1626xs+ to be energy efficient. Not only does it offer four 40 x 40mm fans to help keep the system running cool, the server supports numerous scheduled power on / off cycles and hard drive hibernation to further minimize power consumption and operation expenses. The RackStation RS1626xs+ operates on 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz via dual 250W redundant power supplies and includes an accessory pack, two power cords, and a front cover. Protection is provided by a limited 5-year warranty that covers technical support and hardware replacement services.
