RS18017xs+ comes with 12 drive bays supporting 3.5"/2.5" SAS/SATA drives in a 2U rack chassis, two 10GBase-T and four 1GbE ports, optional 10GbE Network Interface Cards (NIC) support, and provides flexible storage scalability up to 96 drives with the new expansion unit RX1217sas or 180 drives with RX2417sas.
RS4017xs+ leverages an Intel Xeon D-1541 8-core 2.1GHz processor (burst up to 2.7GHz), delivering ultra-high performance with over 4,900 MB/s sequential read throughput and 690,000 sequential read IOPS when used with 6 x 10GbE Link Aggregation enabled1. Being the first Synology RackStation in 3U chassis design, RS4017xs+ provides 16 3.5 inch SATA drive bays for high storage capacity. With two Synology RX1217/RX1217RP expansion units connected, a combined total of 40 drive bays can be freely arranged for storage management.
RS18017xs+ is equipped with 16GB DDR4 ECC RDIMM (upgradable to 128GB), and RS4017xs+ is equipped with 8GB DDR4 ECC UDIMM (upgradable to 64GB), ensuring data integrity when handling high-value data.
