Four drive bays sit behind the front panel, and the whole chassis is designed to slot into a standard rack alongside switches and patch panels. It ships diskless, so drive selection, capacity, and RAID layout are decisions left entirely to the buyer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePerformance is the headline claim here. Synology rates the RS826+ at over 2,000 MB\/s sequential read and 1,300 MB\/s sequential write, throughput aimed squarely at office-wide file sharing, syncing, and backup workloads running concurrently. Realizing numbers in that range depends heavily on how the unit is networked, which is where the expansion options matter: four built-in 1GbE RJ-45 ports handle baseline connectivity and link aggregation, while a PCIe 3.0 slot accepts an optional 10GbE or 25GbE network card or an M.2 NVMe SSD adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStorage does not have to stop at four disks. Attaching a single Synology RX426 expansion unit brings the array to eight bays, a useful runway for organizations whose data grows steadily rather than in leaps. Automated storage tiering rounds out the feature set, shifting infrequently accessed files down to lower-cost cold tiers so the fast storage stays reserved for active work. Synology backs the unit with a three-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Synology","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53703769620787,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7526\/5843\/files\/21U3CtzwQIL._SL500.jpg?v=1784840969","url":"https:\/\/studio-supplies.com\/products\/synology-rackstation-rs826-4-bay-1u-rackmount-nas","provider":"Studio Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
