Synology NAS RX1217 Expansion Unit

Effective solution for expanding storage, allowing you to add up to 12 drive bays to the Synology RackStation device without the need for downtime. Thanks to the ability to expand the RAID volume on the fly, data remains accessible without interruption. Connection via high-speed interface ensures smooth data transfer without latency, as if it were internal drives. An ideal choice for growing corporate infrastructure and demanding data environments.

Reliability, backup, and energy-efficient operation

The device can also serve as a standalone backup storage that protects data in case of main system failure. Intelligent power management with sleep mode extends drive lifespan and reduces costs. Automatic synchronization of powering on and off with the server brings maximum convenience for everyday use.
