Synology 12-Bay Rackmount Storage Expansion (DiskStation)

The Synology RX1217RP is a high-capacity storage expansion unit designed for Synology RackStation systems. It provides 12 drive bays that support both 3.5" and 2.5" SATA hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs), allowing for flexible storage configurations. This unit is ideal for businesses or users who need to scale their storage capacity without disrupting existing operations. The RX1217RP can be connected to compatible Synology RackStation models such as the RS4017xs+ and RS3617xs+ via a high-bandwidth expansion cable, ensuring seamless integration and optimal data throughput.

The unit is equipped with dual 500W power supplies, providing redundancy and ensuring continuous operation even in the event of a power supply failure. This feature is crucial for maintaining uptime in mission-critical applications where data availability is essential. Additionally, the RX1217RP supports hot-swappable drives, allowing for easy replacement of failed drives without interrupting the system.

Cooling is another important aspect of the RX1217RP's design. It features three 80mm x 80mm system fans that can be easily replaced, ensuring that the unit remains at an optimal operating temperature range of 5 to 35 degrees Celsius. This helps maintain long-term hardware reliability and performance.

The RX1217RP is built to meet various international standards, including FCC, CE, BSMI, EAC, RCM, and KC certifications. These certifications ensure that the unit complies with safety and environmental regulations across different regions. The product also comes with a 5-year warranty, reflecting Synology's confidence in its durability and performance.

One of the key advantages of the RX1217RP is its ability to expand the RAID volume on a Synology RackStation without requiring users to reformat their existing hard drives. This means that users can seamlessly increase their storage capacity while maintaining uninterrupted service. The unit supports SATA 6Gb/s interface speeds, ensuring that data processing performance remains high even with large volumes of data.

The RX1217RP also includes a manually configurable hibernation mode, which helps reduce energy consumption when the unit is not in active use. This feature contributes to overall energy efficiency and cost savings for users who need to manage their power usage effectively.
