Specifications

Compatibility Note

Confirm that all storage drives, memory modules, expansion units, PCIe cards and rack accessories are compatible with the Synology RS1221+ before ordering.

The RS1221+ supports one optional RX418 Expansion Unit, increasing the total number of supported drive bays from eight to twelve.

When two memory modules are installed, both modules must be identical and use the same model number.

The PCIe slot supports selected Synology 10GbE and 25GbE network cards, M.2 SSD adapter cards and combined network and M.2 adapters.

The RS1221+ can be mounted directly in a compatible 2-post rack. Four-post installation requires an optional Synology RKM114 or RKS-02 rail kit.

Available capacity will be reduced by RAID, formatting, system partitions and file-system data. RAID does not replace an independent backup.
