Synology RS826+ 4-bay rackmount NAS

The Synology RS826+ is a 1U rackmount NAS built around a 2.2 GHz AMD Ryzen V1500B four-core, eight-thread processor with 4GB DDR4 ECC memory. Four drive bays accept 3.5-inch SATA hard drives or 2.5-inch SATA SSDs, and the unit ships fully assembled with 1.6TB enterprise cache and four 4TB Synology Plus drives installed. It targets edge locations, remote offices and growing business storage environments that need compact, ready-to-run network storage.

Sustained throughput and thermal envelope

Under Synology test conditions the RS826+ delivers more than 2,000 MB/s sequential read and 1,300 MB/s sequential write. The AMD Ryzen V1500B maintains these rates across extended workloads while operating within a 0°C to 35°C ambient range. Four integrated 1GbE RJ-45 ports support Link Aggregation for load balancing and automatic failover, keeping bandwidth stable during prolonged multi-user access.

Network expansion limits and memory ceiling

A PCIe Gen3 slot accepts compatible 10GbE or 25GbE adapters when 1GbE throughput becomes a bottleneck. Memory can be expanded to 32 GB DDR4 ECC, but the four-bay chassis caps raw drive count at four devices. Buyers who need more than four drives or native 10GbE ports without an add-in card should evaluate larger rackmount models.
