Synology RS826+ 4-Bay Rackmount NAS 8GB 1.6TB Cache 64TB Drives

Compact 1U rackmount NAS for edge deployments

The Synology RS826+ is a 4-bay rackmount NAS built for edge locations, remote offices, and growing business storage environments. It arrives fully assembled and tested with 8 GB of DDR4 ECC memory, 1.6 TB of enterprise cache, and 64 TB of raw capacity across four 16 TB Synology Plus drives. A 2.2 GHz AMD Ryzen V1500B four-core, eight-thread processor handles file services, virtualization workloads, and backup tasks in a space-saving 1U form factor.

Sustained throughput with multi-gigabit expansion

Under sustained load the system delivers more than 2000 MB/s sequential read and 1300 MB/s sequential write performance under Synology test conditions. Four integrated 1 GbE RJ-45 ports support Link Aggregation for load balancing and automatic failover, keeping throughput stable during concurrent client access. A PCIe Gen3 slot accepts compatible 10 GbE or 25 GbE adapters when network demand outgrows the onboard interfaces, allowing bandwidth to scale without replacing the chassis.

Replaces standalone file servers

This configuration replaces a traditional file server or direct-attached storage array that requires separate drive procurement, assembly, and validation. The jump is worth it when a team needs a pre-validated, rack-ready appliance with ECC memory and enterprise cache already installed, reducing deployment time from days to minutes. It is not for buyers who need more than four drive bays, who require native 10 GbE or 25 GbE ports without an add-in card, or who need a processor with a higher core count for heavy compute workloads.
