Synology RS822RP+ 4-Bay RackStation NAS (Diskless)

The Synology RackStation RS822RP+ is a 4-bay 1U rackmount NAS engineered for small and medium-sized businesses that need centralized data storage with built-in redundancy. Delivering over 2,103 MB/s sequential read and 1,074 MB/s sequential write throughput, it handles file sharing, data backup, and synchronization workloads with consistent performance. The unit ships diskless, accepting 3.5-inch SATA drives or 2.5-inch SSDs, and can scale from 4 to 8 total drives by attaching a single Synology RX418 expansion unit. An optional SSD cache further improves random IOPS for latency-sensitive applications like virtualization or database hosting.

Network connectivity starts with four 1GbE ports that support failover and Link Aggregation for improved throughput and reliability, with optional 10GbE and 25GbE expansion cards available for environments demanding higher bandwidth. The defining feature of the RS822RP+ is its redundant power supply, which ensures the NAS remains operational if one power supply fails—a critical reliability feature for businesses that cannot afford unplanned downtime. Running Synology's DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system, the RS822RP+ provides access to a mature ecosystem of backup, surveillance, collaboration, and storage management applications, making it a versatile foundation for SMB IT infrastructure in a space-efficient 1U rack form factor.
