The Synology RX1223RP is a 12-bay 2U rackmount expansion unit with hot-swappable SATA drive bays, Mini-SAS HD connectivity, redundant power supplies and online storage expansion through Synology DSM.

Product Description

The Synology RX1223RP provides additional storage capacity for compatible Synology RackStation and SA-series systems.

Its 12 hot-swappable drive bays support compatible 3.5-inch SATA hard drives and 2.5-inch SATA solid-state drives.

The expansion unit connects to a compatible host system through Mini-SAS HD and is managed through Synology DiskStation Manager. Existing volumes can be expanded, or additional storage pools and volumes can be created without interrupting supported services.

Redundant power supplies and replaceable system fans help maintain service availability in business environments.

Storage drives and the optional rack rail kit are not included.

Key Features

• 12-bay rackmount storage expansion unit
• 2U rackmount form factor
• Supports compatible Synology host systems
• Supports 3.5-inch SATA hard drives
• Supports 2.5-inch SATA solid-state drives

• Business archive storage
• Backup repository expansion
• Surveillance recording capacity
• Media and creative-project storage
• Large business data sets
• Additional storage pools and volumes
• High-capacity rackmount storage
• Environments requiring redundant power

Specifications

Compatibility Note

The RX1223RP is a storage expansion unit and cannot operate as a standalone NAS.

Confirm compatibility with the intended Synology host system before ordering. Synology currently lists the SA6400, RS2423RP+II, RS2423RP+ and RS2423+ as supported models.

The expansion unit connects to its host using the included Mini-SAS HD cable. The USB, eSATA and other expansion connections used by older Synology expansion units are not interchangeable with Mini-SAS HD.

Synology recommends creating storage volumes within the same NAS or expansion unit for better performance instead of spanning one volume across separate devices.

Installation in a compatible 4-post 19-inch rack requires an optional Synology RKS-02 sliding rail kit.

Available storage capacity will be lower than the combined manufacturer-rated drive capacity because of RAID, formatting, system partitions and file-system data.

The Synology RX418 is a compact 4-bay 1U rackmount expansion unit designed to add hot-swappable SATA storage capacity to compatible Synology RackStation systems through an eSATA connection.

Product Description

The Synology RX418 is a 4-bay rackmount expansion unit designed to increase the storage capacity of compatible Synology RackStation systems.

It provides four additional drive bays and supports compatible 3.5-inch SATA hard drives, 2.5-inch SATA hard drives and 2.5-inch SATA solid-state drives.

All four drive bays support hot-swapping when permitted by the connected RackStation, storage configuration and Synology DiskStation Manager status.

The RX418 connects to a compatible Synology RackStation through the supplied eSATA expansion cable.

Once connected, drives installed in the RX418 operate as part of the connected Synology storage environment and are managed through Synology DiskStation Manager.

No separate management software is required.

Depending on the connected RackStation model, the RX418 can be used to expand an existing compatible storage pool, create a separate storage pool or provide a dedicated local backup destination.

Selected compatible RackStation models support creating storage volumes across the main NAS and RX418.

For improved performance and easier storage management, Synology recommends creating volumes using drives physically located within the same NAS or expansion unit rather than spanning a volume across both devices.

The Synology RS217 supports volume creation within a single unit only and does not support volumes spanning the RackStation and RX418.

The RX418 is not a standalone NAS.

It does not include a processor, system memory, network interface, independent operating system or standalone DSM installation.

A compatible Synology RackStation is required for operation.

The RX418 supports synchronised power recovery with the connected RackStation.

When the connected RackStation powers on or recovers after a power interruption, the expansion unit can follow the host system’s supported power behaviour.

Its compact 1U rackmount chassis supports direct installation in a compatible 2-post 19-inch rack.

Installation in a compatible 4-post 19-inch rack is supported using a separately sold Synology RKM114 or RKS-02 rail kit.

The RX418 includes a 100W internal power supply and three 40mm system fans.

Storage drives and optional rack rails are not included.
