Versatile and scalable storage Synology RS2821RP+ is a 3U 16-bay storage server designed to accommodate a diverse set of business requirements. Scalable to 28 drives, the unit provides powerful backup and restoration functionality for the SMB sector. It delivers 2,200 MB/s sequential read and 105K 4K random read performance, and can be upgraded with SSD cache and 10/25Gb Ethernet options.
High performance storage for anything Over 105K/59K random read/write IOPS and up to 2,220/1,164 MB/s sequential read/write throughput ensure ample performance for demanding workloads.
Built for reliability Redundant power Reduce the possibility of power disruptions on a single distribution channel or PDU adversely impacting data and service availability.
Near-zero downtime Pair two identical devices with Synology High Availability and enable automatic minute-level failover between both devices in the event one server fails.
Data integrity and protection ECC memory prevents data corruption, while the Btrfs file system brings higher reliability, snapshot technology, and simplified data protection.
Customize to suit Easily adapt the RS2821RP+ to any business environment by adding faster networking, local SSD cache, or storage capacity. 10/25GbE ready Support for 10/25GbE NICs lets you boost server throughput up to five times using Link Aggregation (bonding). SSD cache Boost read/write IOPS over HDD-only arrays by up to 16 times or more with NVMe or SATA On-demand drive bays Expand to 28 drive bays with one RX1217(RP) expansion unit
