Synology RS2423+ 12-Bay Rackmount NAS 8GB 144TB 1.6TB Cache

Ready-to-Run 12-Bay Rackmount NAS

The Synology RS2423+ arrives fully assembled and tested with 12 enterprise-class 12TB drives providing 144TB of raw capacity and a Synology M2D20 adapter holding two 800GB cache modules for 1.6TB of high-speed read/write acceleration. An AMD Ryzen processor and 8GB of installed RAM drive the system, while dual 1GbE ports with link aggregation and a single 10GbE port handle network traffic. Two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports allow direct attachment of backup targets or expansion units.

Ideal for SMB File Sharing and Backup Workloads

This configuration suits small-to-medium businesses that need immediate, high-capacity file storage with built-in flash acceleration for hot data and the throughput to serve multiple concurrent users. Organisations requiring redundant power supplies, more than 8GB of memory, or additional 10GbE ports should evaluate other platforms, as the chassis provides only a single AC inlet and the installed memory is not described as user-expandable in the supplied data.

Deciding Factor: Pre-Populated 144TB

The single specification that determines fit is the factory-installed drive set: twelve 12TB Synology enterprise drives and two 800GB cache modules deliver 144TB of managed storage plus 1.6TB of SSD cache in a 2U form factor measuring 88mm high, 482mm wide and 552mm deep. If that exact capacity and cache combination matches the project scope, the unit is ready to rack and configure; if the plan calls for a different drive mix or no cache, a diskless RS2423+ would be the appropriate starting point.
