Synology RS822+ External HDD/SSD Overview

The RackStation RS822+ 4-Bay NAS Enclosure from Synology is a 4-bay rackmount NAS enclosed in a compact 1 RU chassis. Running the Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system, it is ideal for data backup, sharing, and synchronization. Its small size, stable performance, and storage scalability make it suitable for branch offices and small and medium-sized businesses with ever-increasing data management needs. It delivers sequential read speeds of up to 2103 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 1074 MB/s and has four drive bays, each of which natively supports 3.5" SATA hard drives as well as 2.5" SATA hard drives and SSDs. Should users need to expand the overall capacity of their RS822+, the optional RX418 expansion unit offers an additional four drive bays. This model is powered using a single power supply.

The RackStation RS822+ is powered by a 2.2 GHz AMD Ryzen V1500B quad-core processor, which will allow you to run multiple functions simultaneously. The 2GB of DDR4 ECC RAM will allow quick access to frequently used files and programs and may also be upgraded to a total of 32GB. Also featured are two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and one eSATA port. Network connectivity is achieved via the four Gigabit Ethernet ports with failover support, which help to provide redundancy in case a LAN connection malfunction occurs on one port. In addition, link aggregation, powered by four LAN ports, helps to increase connection speeds beyond the limits of a single network port or cable. If you're looking to expand this NAS, there is one PCIe 3.0 x8/x4 slot that can be used to add a 10GbE SFP+/RK45 or 25GbE SFP28 add-in network card, an M.2 SSD adapter card, or an M.2 NVMe SSD & 10GbE combo adapter card.

A variety of RAID modes are supported, which help provide users with data redundancy, speed, or a combination of both. Supported RAID modes include RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, Basic, and Synology Hybrid RAID. For those who do not require a RAID, JBOD is also available, allowing each drive bay to be individually utilized.

The RackStation RS822+ stays cool using three 40mm fans and operates on 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. Included is an accessory pack and an AC power cord. Protection is provided by a limited 3-year hardware warranty.

Versatile Storage for Any Purpose
The RS822+ comes out of the box with intuitive and comprehensive file management, media organization, and backup options, making it an ideal edge storage solution for medium and large studios or a comprehensive data management platform for retail and hospitality settings.
Sequential reads of up to 2103 MB/s and sequential writes of up to 1074 MB/s enable fast file sharing, syncing, streaming, and backup for multiple users.
Supports four 3.5 or 2.5" SATA HDDs or SSDs with the option to expand to 8 drives with a Synology RX418 expansion unit.
Up to 32GB of DDR4 ECC memory for protection against potential crashes and inadvertent changes in data through automatic correction of data errors.
Accommodate multiple streams or transfer tasks with four Gigabit RJ45 ports, which can be bonded using Link Aggregation to provide automatic network failover and load balancing.
Adjust your storage platform as more demanding needs arise with an optional 10GbE SFP+/RJ45 or 25GbE SFP28 add-in network card, an M.2 SSD adapter card, or a M.2 NVMe SSD & 10GbE combo adapter card via the PCIe 3.0 slot.

Synology RS822+ External HDD/SSD Reviews

No Regrets

I purchased this unit to replace an outdated unit that was running out of storage. After a lot of research I decided to go with the RS822+. I am not an IT expert and the guided setup allows someone with decent computer knowledge to get the system up and running. Glad I upgraded and so far the unit has been performing great.

Quick Setup, Quiet Operation

This NAS was purchased to provide backup for various computers and another NAS. Setup is very easy. Memory installation is very easy. Bonding the four ethernet ports together is easy. Setting up Synology's Hyper Backup was a bit tedious, but all the info is on their website. The unit runs cool and quiet. Let's hope it's this way five years from now.
