Synology RS3626xs Xeon D-1726 12-Bay Rackmount NAS 8GB 288TB

12-Bay Rackmount NAS with 288TB Storage

The Synology RS3626xs is a 2U rackmount network-attached storage server preloaded with twelve 24TB enterprise hard drives totalling 288TB. A 6-core Intel Xeon D-1726 processor and 8GB of DDR4 ECC memory provide a platform for centralized file storage, virtualization, and multi-site collaboration. Redundant power supplies protect service availability from a single power-supply failure. Buyers who need more than twelve drive bays or a higher base memory configuration will need a different platform.

Installation and Common Issues

The unit arrives fully assembled and tested with all drives installed, so physical setup is limited to rack mounting, connecting the two C13 to C14 power cords, and linking the two integrated 10GbE RJ-45 ports or the out-of-band management port. Management is performed through a web-based interface with DHCP client support. Builders should verify rack depth clearance for the 724mm chassis and confirm that the operating environment stays within 0°C to 35°C and 8% to 80% relative humidity.

10GbE and Expansion Limits

Two onboard 10GBASE-T ports support Link Aggregation for increased bandwidth and network failover, with Synology reporting sequential performance exceeding 6300 MB/s read and 3700 MB/s write under its test conditions. Two PCIe Gen 4 x8 slots allow adding compatible 10GbE or 25GbE adapters, Fibre Channel connectivity, or SSD caching hardware. Memory can be expanded to 48GB. The twelve 3.5-inch SATA bays accept HDDs or 2.5-inch SATA SSDs only.
