Synology RX1217RP - Storage expansion unit, Black/Grey

The Synology RX1217RP is a 2U rackmount expansion unit for compatible Synology RackStation systems. It adds 12 drive bays to existing setups. Each bay is hot-swappable, allowing for drive replacement or upgrades without system downtime. The unit supports 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA drives. Administrators manage the storage via the host RackStation’s DiskStation Manager interface. Capacity can be increased by expanding existing RAID sets or creating new storage pools. The unit connects directly to the primary NAS, requiring no separate management system.

Dual redundant power supplies protect against electrical failure. The chassis is designed for standard server rack installation. Typical power consumption is 71.32 W. Locking drive bays prevent unauthorized physical access to the media. The chassis weighs 13.4 kg without drives, and the operating noise level is 54.2 dB. Integrated fans regulate internal temperatures to ensure stable hardware performance.
