Well-suited for small- and medium-sized businesses, the RackStation RS2818RP+ 16-Bay NAS Server from Synology delivers flexibility in terms of its expandable storage capacity, upgradeable memory, and optional high-speed NIC support. It can serve as a backup target for distributed businesses, a centralized file server, or a backup target for employee workstations in growing businesses. This unit has a 3 RU form factor and 16 drive bays, each of which natively supports 3.5" SATA hard drives, as well as 2.5" SATA hard drives and SSDs.

Should users need to expand the overall capacity of their RS2818RP+, the optional RX1217/RX1217RP expansion units offer an additional 12 drive bays, and one of these units is supported via an integrated expansion port. Additionally, should power to the NAS be interrupted, the RS2818RP+ comes equipped with a 500W redundant power supply. The RackStation RS2818RP+ is powered by a 2.1 GHz Intel Atom C3538 Quad-Core processor, which will allow you to run multiple functions simultaneously.
