RackStation RS4021xs+
High-Performance Storage
The Synology RackStation RS4021xs+ is a 16-bay 3U NAS powered by an Intel Xeon D-1541 8-core 2.1 GHz processor with 16GB DDR4 ECC RAM (upgradable to 64GB). It delivers up to 234,698 4K random read IOPS and 6,258 MB/s sequential read, ideal for virtualization and collaboration. Supporting 256TB (16x16TB) with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, JBOD, and F1, it uses Btrfs for snapshots. Expandable to 40 bays with two RX1217/RP units.
Robust Connectivity
Features two 10GbE and four 1GbE RJ45 ports with link aggregation/failover, plus two PCIe 3.0 x8 slots for 10GbE NICs or M.2 NVMe SSD cache. Two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and two expansion ports enhance connectivity. Synology DSM supports file sharing, cloud backups, and iSCSI LUN. Synology High Availability ensures minute-level failover with dual units.
Enterprise Features
Synology Surveillance Station supports up to 90 IP cameras with AES-256 encryption and analytics. Dual 800W PSUs and hot-swappable fans ensure uptime. DSM provides Virtual Machine Manager, Synology Office, and Hyper Backup. Users praise performance but note its size (19” deep) and lack of Synology Hybrid RAID. A 5-year warranty ensures reliability.
