Synology RS1226RP+ RackStation 8-Bay 2.5GbE Rackmount NAS with Redundant Power Supply

Resilient rack storage with redundant power

The Synology RS1226RP+ is an 8-bay 2U RackStation NAS for business file sharing, backups and private cloud storage. An AMD Ryzen V1500B processor, 4GB ECC memory and two built-in 2.5GbE ports support everyday workloads across teams and branch offices. Redundant power supplies help maintain service if one power module fails. This diskless enclosure requires separately purchased compatible drives.

Highlights

Eight hot-swappable SATA drive bays provide room for hard drives or SSDs. Two dedicated M.2 NVMe slots add SSD caching without using front drive bays. Expand to 12 drive bays with one optional RX426 expansion unit, or add compatible 10GbE or 25GbE networking through the PCIe slot. Expansion hardware and storage media are sold separately.

Key Features

Reliable hardware for shared workloads

The quad-core 2.2GHz processor supports eight threads. ECC memory helps detect and correct memory errors, and the two memory slots support up to 32GB with compatible matching modules. The deeper chassis accommodates redundant power modules and supports a compatible four-post rack with the optional RKS-02 rail kit.

Files and backups in one place

Synology DiskStation Manager provides a central platform for managing storage and access. Synology Drive supports file access and synchronisation across computers, mobile devices and browsers. Active Backup, Hyper Backup and Snapshot Replication provide options for protecting supported business systems and NAS data. Off-site destinations require separate storage or cloud services; cloud subscriptions are not included.

Choose the right power configuration

Choose RS1226RP+ when redundant power is a priority. Its chassis measures 88.3 × 481.9 × 398.4mm and weighs 8.9kg without drives. The RS1226+ alternative uses a single power supply and a shallower chassis. Check rack clearance, supported drives and accessory compatibility before ordering.

Surveillance and room to grow

Surveillance Station supports central camera recording and monitoring, with two camera licences included; additional camera licences are sold separately. Synology High Availability can pair two compatible matching systems to reduce service interruptions. A second NAS, cameras, network upgrades and expansion units are not included.

Compatible add-ons

Complete this eight-bay system with ACE NASCare for 5–8 bays, subject to the service terms. Choose RKS-02 sliding rails for a compatible four-post rack. The other rail and cable-management options on the linked accessory page are not interchangeable with RKS-02. Check rack dimensions before ordering.

For storage, select supported Synology Plus SATA HDDs or Synology Enterprise SATA HDDs. SNV5420 M.2 NVMe SSDs provide cache upgrades. Choose the exact supported model and capacity from the accessory options; drives and cache are sold separately.

Compatible network upgrades include E10G30-T1 and E10G30-T2 for 10GbE RJ45, E10G30-F2 for 10GbE SFP+, or E25G30-F2 for 25GbE SFP28. These are alternative cards for the single PCIe slot; network cabling and any required optical modules are separate.

Summary

The Synology RS1226RP+ combines eight drive bays, ECC memory and built-in 2.5GbE networking in a rackmount NAS for shared storage and data protection. Redundant power supplies make it the option for installations that need power-module resilience. The enclosure includes a three-year limited hardware warranty. Drives, SSD cache, rack rails and optional upgrades are sold separately.
