Synology RS2423+ 12-Bay Rackmount NAS 16GB 48TB 1.6TB Cache

Ready-to-deploy 12-bay rackmount NAS

The Synology RS2423+ arrives fully assembled with twelve 4 TB Synology Plus Series drives providing 48 TB of raw capacity and a 1.6 TB Synology cache on an M2D20 adapter. Sixteen gigabytes of Synology RAM and an AMD Ryzen processor power the unit. Two 1 GbE ports with link aggregation and a single 10 GbE port handle network traffic, while two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports allow direct peripheral attachment. The 2 U chassis measures 88 mm x 482 mm x 552 mm and weighs 11.5 kg without drives.

Suited to SMBs needing immediate shared storage

Small and medium businesses that want a pre-tested file management and backup platform with advanced data-protection features will benefit from the out-of-the-box configuration. Organisations that require higher port density, redundant power supplies, or GPU-accelerated workloads should evaluate alternative models. Environments operating outside the 0 °C to 35 °C range or above 95 % relative humidity also fall outside the supported operating envelope.

Sustained throughput for multi-user workloads

Sequential performance reaches 3,500 MB/s read and 1,700 MB/s write, while random I/O delivers over 155 K read and 79 K write IOPS, figures that hold steady under continuous multi-client access rather than only in short bursts. The 1.6 TB cache absorbs write-heavy traffic and reduces latency during prolonged backup windows. Dual 1 GbE links with aggregation plus a 10 GbE uplink keep network pipes saturated during extended transfers.
