Synology NAS Storage with 10Gb network port

Network Equipment Hire:

Hire Intelligence can provide equipment suitable for short-term IT projects, for capturing and support on-site production offices, and mini secure networks for training and government projects. NAS (Network Attached Storage) assets are one of the types of assets required for these installations.

The Synology RackStation RS1221+ is a high-performance 8-bay NAS (network-attached storage) designed for small to medium businesses or advanced home users who need robust, scalable, and reliable storage. It’s powered by a quad-core AMD Ryzen V1500B CPU clocked at 2.2 GHz, and ships with 4 GB of DDR4 ECC RAM (expandable up to 32 GB) to ensure data consistency and responsiveness in multi-user, multi-task scenarios.

Bundled with 8 × 8 TB HAT5310 enterprise-class SATA hard drives, this setup provides ~64 TB raw capacity. The HAT5310 drives spin at 7,200 rpm, use SATA III (6 Gb/s), have a 256 MB cache, and are rated for demanding 24/7 workloads (≈ 550 TB/year workload rating) with a high MTBF (mean time between failures) of ~2.5 million hours. These drives combine with the RS1221+’s hardware to deliver strong sustained transfer speeds and excellent performance for tasks like file server duties, virtualization, backup, surveillance storage, or large-media libraries.

The addition of a PCIe network expansion card that includes an SNV3000-series M.2 slot (for NVMe SSDs, e.g. as cache) plus a 10 GbE RJ-45 network port further elevates the unit. This enables much higher network bandwidth (10 Gb/s vs standard Gigabit), reduces latency, and allows the NAS to keep up when serving many clients or streaming large files over the network. The NVMe cache slot can dramatically improve random I/O and reduce bottlenecks, especially in mixed read/write workloads.

Other features include up to ~2,315 MB/s sequential read and ~1,147 MB/s write performance in optimal setups, support for RAID 0/1/5/6/10 or Synology Hybrid RAID, snapshotting, data integrity via Btrfs, and the ability to expand the number of bays via an expansion unit.

These NAS units are often provided along with Routers, Switches, Cameras, and Workstations or Laptops to support functionality.
