- Flexible storage: Support for all-flash and hybrid configurations allows users to add SATA SSDs as storage volumes or as a read/write cache to accelerate HDD volumes.
- Built-in slots for M.2 NVMe acceleration: Two dedicated internal slots for Synology M.2 NVMe SSDs enable fast caching without occupying primary drive bays.
- Versatile networking capabilities: Two built-in 10GbE ports can be supplemented with extra-fast connectivity via a PCIe 4.0 expansion slot.
- Scalable capacity: Easy expansion to a maximum of 16 bays is possible with a Synology RX1225RP expansion unit.
- Maximum uptime: Hot-swappable drive trays, fans, and dual power supplies, combined with online volume management, ensure maintenance and service continuity without downtime. Remote Diagnostics: Out-of-band management enables administrators to remotely manage disabled devices and access critical logs via a dedicated interface for faster troubleshooting.
Intelligent Storage Optimization
Synology Tiering intelligently manages data across performance and capacity tiers to maximize storage efficiency and reduce storage costs by automatically placing less used data on cost-effective tiers. The RS1626xs+ can be configured as part of a hot or cold storage tier, depending on deployment requirements. Key features:
- Automatic migration of rarely used data from local, high-power storage to an external 'cold tier'
- Tiering policy based on last access time, available capacity, or a defined schedule
- Full access to data, where frequently used files are automatically restored to the 'hot tier'
- Centralized dashboard for monitoring folder status, data distribution, capacity usage, and tiering activity.
