Great little NAS

This is a very capable NAS and a great value for the money. The short depth is great for tight racks/closets. Downsides include the lack of sfp ports straight out of the box and not enough ram. Lot of people complain about the noise, but I haven't had any problems with that or heat on quiet mode.

Great little NAS

By MARK E.

This is a very capable NAS and a great value for the money. The short depth is great for tight racks/closets. Downsides include the lack of sfp ports straight out of the box and not enough ram. Lot of people complain about the noise, but I haven't had any problems with that or heat on quiet mode.

Experience the power and reliability of the RackStation RS1221+ 8-Bay 250W NAS Enclosure, a compact yet high-performance storage solution designed for businesses and IT enthusiasts. With a depth of only 30 centimeters, this device is perfect for space-sensitive deployments, fitting snugly into 2-post or shallow rackmount enclosures.

Powered by an AMD Ryzen V1500B quad-core 2.2 GHz processor and equipped with 4GB ECC DDR4 memory, expandable up to 32GB, the RS1221+ is built to handle heavy workloads in data-intensive environments. It delivers impressive throughput with 2,300 MB/s sequential read and over 100K 4K random read IOPS, ensuring ample performance for demanding tasks.

The RS1221+ and its RX418 expansion units are designed for space efficiency, making it an ideal choice for compact deployments. Its redundant power feature reduces the risk of data and service availability degradation due to power disruptions. When paired with an identical unit, the Synology High Availability feature enables automatic minute-level failover between two clustered servers, minimizing service downtime.

This NAS enclosure also offers ECC memory and the Btrfs file system for higher reliability and snapshot capabilities, helping to prevent data corruption and simplify data protection. With the ability to expand to 12 drive bays with a RX418 expansion unit, the RS1221+ can grow with your business needs, whether it's for performance, faster networking, or higher storage capacity.

The RS1221+ also supports NVMe or SATA SSD Cache, boosting read/write IOPS over HDD-only arrays by 16X or more. It is 10GbE ready, allowing for improved I/O with faster SFP+ or RJ-45 networking.

The device comes with built-in data protection solutions like Hyper Backup and Snapshot Replication, providing comprehensive backup and recovery options for added data protection. It also supports Active Backup, enabling administrators to secure their entire IT infrastructure by backing up mission-critical data to their NAS.

The RackStation RS1221+ is powered by Synology DSM, offering a range of features such as Synology High Availability, Virtual Machine Manager, Synology Drive, Central Management System, Surveillance Station, and Collaboration Suite.
