![]() ![]() Not only is the outside metal, but so is the inside. I swear, I’ll stop! I cannot resist insisting on how sturdy and well-designed the disk bay is! You can definitely feel the sturdiness and quality of the product as soon as you touch it. There are some design geniuses at Synology who deserve an award! To go from a completely plastic bay to a completely metal one is something magical, at least for your friend Marius! Now seriously, take a close look at the grid design and how well thought out it is for heat dissipation. In addition to the NAS box itself, in the package you will find the following: an AC Power Cord, the keys to lock the bays, now an emblematic symbol of the Synology brand, the two rack mounts with lots of screws, as well as the screws for the HDDs and SSDs, more than convenient for instantly securing the drives in the box.Īs I said in the opening of this article, this is my first RackStation and one of the things I have instantly noticed is the robustness not only of the NAS, but also of the bays where you insert the HDD or SSD disks. As I already said at the beginning of this article, you also have the option to install one 10GbE module in the back. The RS422+ NAS, despite its 3 fans, is surprisingly quiet. As many as 3 fans have been added to provide optimal ventilation for the NAS when used in the Rack compartment. One of the things I immediately noticed about the RS422+ is the excellent rear ventilation. Starting from the metal to the plastics used, the materials used for the RackStation line are visibly superior to those of the DiskStation line. The RS422+ is a very robust product when compared to the NAS models from the DiskStation line. The RS422+ NAS is well protected throughout its journey to the customer by meticulously placed Styrofoam that prevents damage. There is considerable thought put into the packaging for the RS422+ which comes in a sturdy, recyclable cardboard box no bigger than 5 kg, but which provides space and contributes to the integrity of the NAS box. “This expansion in our RackStation series strengthens our rackmount offerings, providing our customers additional variety so they can best find the most suitable Synology solution for their specific needs. The RS422+ is an enticing option for small businesses and home lab owners that are looking for a compact and reliable backup or edge storage solution at a cost-effective price,” said Michael Wang, product manager at Synology Inc. One of the least talked about advantages of the RS422+ is that you can use it for Surveillance Station and it can support up to 40 IP Cameras (including 2 Free Licenses), all with only 2GB of RAM.ĭifference Between RS422+, RS822+, RS1619xs+ ![]() The RS422+, having a powerful CPU, lends itself beautifully to streaming via the Synology package called Video Station which, in my opinion, far surpasses products such as Plex in terms of ease of use. So the main purpose, in my case, is the BACKUP of my site. The backup formula? I will be using Hyper Backup on the DS1621xs+ and Hyper Backup Vault on the RS422+ to accomplish the full site backup. The site is self hosted on a DS1621xs+ NAS and will be backed up to this RS422+ NAS. I almost forgot: you will not find any RJ45 Ethernet cables in the package – these you will have to buy separately.Īs for my use of the device, I will be employing this elegant RackStation to back up my mariushosting website. The RS422+ doesn’t really qualify as an enterprise product if we’re going by its technical specifications, but rather a basic RackStation NAS for basic user needs at what can be considered an affordable price. There is also no support for M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs. While the NAS does support Docker, it will however not allow you to install very many containers because of the RAM limitation. The default memory is only 2GB, and it’s not expandable, but it’s a DDR4 ECC. IT also comes with the option to install one 10GbE module in the back. This NAS comes with a powerful 2-core 2.6 (base) / 3.1 (turbo) GHz AMD Ryzen R1600 CPU with AVX support. This is my first RackStation NAS since starting my blog. The adventure on mariushosting, commenced on January 9, 2019, continues today with a new Synology NAS model from the RackStation category, code name RS422+.
