Synology NAS RX1217RP Expansion Unit

An efficient solution for expanding storage that allows you to add up to 12 drive bays to the Synology RackStation without downtime. Thanks to the option for RAID volume expansion on the fly, data remains accessible without interruption. Connection via high-speed interface ensures smooth data transfer without latency, just like internal drives. An ideal choice for growing business 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 primary system failure. The variant with redundant power supply (only model RX1217RP) guarantees continuous operation without outages even in critical situations. Intelligent power management with sleep mode extends drive lifespan and reduces costs. Automatic synchronization of power on and off with the server brings maximum convenience for everyday use.
