Expansion Unit for Synology RackStation

The Synology RX1217RP is a twelve-bay rackmount expansion unit that attaches to a compatible Synology RackStation to add raw storage capacity. It ships without drives and draws power from two 500 W redundant supplies that accept 100 to 240 V AC at 50 or 60 Hz. The unit connects through a single Infiniband expansion cable and is managed entirely through the host's DiskStation Manager.

Ideal for RackStation owners needing more bays

This unit suits administrators who have a supported Synology RackStation with an available expansion port and want to add up to twelve SATA drives without reformatting existing volumes. It is not for buyers who need a standalone NAS, direct-attached storage via USB, or expansion for non-Synology servers because the unit requires a specific host connection and DSM management.

Twelve SATA drive bays with redundant power

The chassis provides twelve SATA 6 Gb/s drive bays and dual 500 W power supplies for automatic failover. Online volume expansion lets you grow storage on the fly while the system stays online. Operating temperature range is 5 to 35 °C.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the RX1217RP get when running 24/7 with both 500W supplies active?

The unit operates between 5 and 35°C ambient temperature; redundant 500W supplies share the load and automatically fail over if one fails, keeping the enclosure within that range during continuous use.

What existing Synology RackStation and cable are required before the RX1217RP can be used?

It connects via the included Infiniband expansion cable to a compatible Synology RackStation managed through DiskStation Manager; no reformatting of existing drives is needed.

Will the twelve SATA bays work with older 3Gb/s or 6Gb/s drives I already own?

Yes, the twelve SATA 6Gb/s bays accept existing SATA drives and the system supports online volume expansion so you can add them without downtime.
