Synology RackStation RS2421+/RS2421RP+

High-Performance Storage

The Synology RackStation RS2421+ and RS2421RP+ are 2U 12-bay rackmount NAS units powered by a 2.2GHz AMD Ryzen V1500B quad-core processor and 4GB DDR4 ECC RAM (upgradable to 32GB). They deliver up to 2,200MB/s read and 1,154MB/s write speeds, with 106K/59K random read/write IOPS, ideal for backups, file serving, and virtualization. Scalable to 24 bays with an RX1217/RP expansion unit, they support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, F1, and Btrfs snapshots.

Robust Connectivity and Scalability

Equipped with four 1GbE ports (Link Aggregation/failover support), two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot for 10/25GbE NICs or NVMe SSD cache (SNV3400/3500), these NAS units adapt to high-speed networks and demanding workloads. The RS2421RP+ includes dual 350W hot-plug PSUs for redundancy. Synology DSM supports SMB, NFS, iSCSI, and virtualization platforms like VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer. Synology High Availability ensures minute-level failover.

Data Protection and Versatility

The RS2421+/RP+ offers robust data protection with Hyper Backup for multi-destination backups (Synology C2, Google Drive, Dropbox) and Snapshot Replication for 5-minute RPO. Surveillance Station supports up to 40 IP cameras. Users praise the performance boost over the RS2418+ but note the restrictive Synology HDD/SSD compatibility list and loud 40mm fans (44.4 dB(A)). A 3-year warranty (extendable to 5 years) ensures reliability for SMBs and remote offices.
