Engineered to deliver high throughput and robust data protection to help safeguard mission-critical info, the RackStation RS3621RPxs 12-Bay NAS Enclosure from Synology is a 12-bay, 2 RU storage solution with built-in 500W redundant power supplies, ECC memory, and the Btrfs file system that can handle the demanding workloads of modern business environments. This unit has 12 drive bays, each of which natively supports 3.5" SATA hard drives, as well as 2.5" SATA hard drives and SSDs. Should users need to expand the overall capacity of their RS3621RPxs, two optional RX1217/RX1217RP expansion units may be used to connect up to 24 additional drive bays, and each unit is connected using an integrated expansion port. The RS3621RPxs can deliver 4K random reads of up to 189,098 IOPS and sequential reads of up to 4718 MB/s.
Buy based on the software ecosystem (e.g. Available from $4,299.99.
NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices run 24/7, making power consumption a steady, though low, cost. The real ongoing expense is replacing hard drives as they fail or filling empty bays to expand storage.
Common Failure Modes
Hard drive failure is the most common issue, which is why NAS uses RAID redundancy to prevent data loss. Fan failures and power brick deaths are the primary hardware issues for the enclosure itself.
Buy based on the software ecosystem (e.g., Synology DSM) and the number of drive bays you need for redundancy and future expansion. CPU power matters greatly if you plan to run media servers like Plex.
The NAS enclosure itself can last a decade. However, the hard drives inside are consumable and typically need replacing every few years depending on workload.
