8-Bay Synology RackStation RS1221RP+ 4GB RAM

Compact and reliable
With a depth of only 30 or 38 centimeters, the RS1221+/RS1221RP+ is ideal for use in tight spaces. With over 100,000 4K random read IOPS and 2,315 MB/s sequential read throughput, the RS1221+/RS1221RP+ can easily handle demanding applications in data-intensive environments. The redundant power supply additionally protects the RS1221RP+ against power failures.

Compact design
The RS1221+ and the expansion unit RX418 are particularly compact for space-saving use in tight spaces. At 30cm, they are half the depth of standard 2U devices and fit perfectly into rack stands or narrow racks. The RS1221RP+ with dual power supply also fits into most narrow racks at 38 cm deep.
- Also fits in narrow racks
- Easy to install in rack stands

Designed for maximum reliability
Redundant power supply
Reduce the risk that a power outage on a circuit or PDU will impact data and availability.
Maximum availability
Combined with a second identical device, Synology High Availability allows you to set up a server cluster with automatic failover in minutes, minimizing disruption in the event of a server failure.
Integrity and protection of data
ECC memory and Btrfs file system bring higher reliability and snapshot capacities to prevent data corruption and simplify backup.

Powerful storage solution for all needs
Up to 2,315/1,147 MB/s sequential read and write throughput and over 100,000/54,000 random read/write IOPS offer plenty of performance even for demanding applications.

Grows with you
As your demands increase, be it in terms of performance, network or storage capacity, you can easily expand your RS1221+/RS1221RP+.

SSD cache
Accelerate access by 16x or more over pure HDD arrays with NVMe or SATA SSD cache

ready for 10 GbE
Higher I/O performance with faster SFP+ or RJ-45 networking

Scalable storage capacity
Expandable to up to 12 drive bays with expansion unit RX418

Data backup already integrated

Hyper backup
A comprehensive, all-in-one data backup and recovery solution. Back up data locally, to other Synology devices, rsync servers or to cloud services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, S3 compatible storage destinations and Synology C2 Storage, a dedicated cloud storage for Synology devices. Deduplication, integrity checks, and incremental data transfer reduce bandwidth and storage consumption.

Snapshot replication
Easily schedule flexible point-in-time backups of shared folders and LUNs with an RPO as fast as 5 minutes and restore in seconds. Set up replication and failover to other Synology storage systems for fast RTO and minimal disruption.

Back up your entire office with Active Backup
With the Active Backup Suite, administrators can easily protect the entire IT infrastructure by backing up important data on the NAS, including entire Windows and Linux machines and servers, file servers, virtual machines in VMware and Hyper-V, and accounts in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Use features such as deduplication and version management to quickly restore previous versions and further optimizations for particularly bandwidth- and storage-efficient data protection.

Fully certified storage virtualization solutions
Synology iSCSI Storage provides full support of popular virtualization solutions to improve work efficiency with a simple management interface. The integration of VMware vSphere 6 and VAAI allows storage operations to be offloaded. Windows Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) accelerates data transfer. Thanks to OpenStack Cinder support, your Synology NAS can be used as a block-based storage component. Additionally, Synology Storage Console further simplifies the provisioning and management of storage in VMware and Windows environments.

Best with Synology drives
Designed for intensive, 24/7 use, Synology drives consistently deliver top-notch performance.
