Review: Fast rack based Synology server—nice build quality. - An upgrade on an older '+' style Synology box. The previous physical drives transferred over fine and the new PAT rebuilt the DSM without too much hassle. I forgot to delete the Bond setting from the previous Synology box (before backing it up) and thought I'd have to fry the DSM on the RS1221+ in order to clear that setting (moving from 2 ports bonded to 4 ports bonded) but I managed to use the reset and force it to delete and reconfigure. Only one Cat 5 could be plugged in while achieving this reset—not all four—once realised easily fixed. The password reset method isn't well described but otherwise everything is fine. Still running the drives back in on the new box without upgrading the RAM (32GB) or network connection (10Gb). It's nicely built, not over the top, and fits well into the rack. The fan noise has increased considerably over the smaller Synology boxes but not quite as loud as a dedicated server build (though this is only a quarter of the size). A two bay Synology is whisper quiet, a 5 bay had some fan noise but can be drowned out by drive chatter, this 8 bay unit has real fan noise (on it's lowest, 'quiet' setting) and has a presence in the office. Destined for a cupboard anyway but I'd suggest planning for isolation if you like peace and quiet. My last Synology box lasted for over 10 years without any huge issues but doesn't match this for pace of file delivery, build quality (much more metal involved) or simple storage capacity. It doesn't present the fastest preview yet (for really big files) but with plenty of upgrades to come it has the legs to be a powerful performer in a small form factor. It came double boxed and is well protected for transportation. It's a nice unit for those who just need things to work; have large storage needs; don't like constantly rebuilding backup solutions or having multiple drives rolling around. The Synology DSM has many reviews elsewhere. Thumbs up. Review: Perfect short-depth NAS! - My deskside 19" rack is only 12 inches deep! This Synology fits in the rack perfectly. It's dead silent and after about 6 months of use, has been flawless in operation. This is my second 8-bay Synology and I wish I would have bought this originally instead of the DS series that I bought. Why, you ask? Because this NAS works with the Synology 10gb/s ethernet adapter, which also has two M.2 2280 NVME drive slots. This allows you to use the NVME as write cache. The combination of the NMVE cache and the 10gb/s ethernet will make you forget that this thing is running spinning disks at all. Very fast, very quiet, very trouble free, and for that it has earned my 5 star stamp of approval. ## Features - Tackle multi-user environments effortlessly with up to 2,315 MB/s read and 1,147 MB/s write performance - The RS1221+ and RS1221RP+ feature a short depth of just 298 mm and 399 mm respectively - Improve network performance by 5X with a PCIe SFP+ or RJ-45 network card from the compatibility list - Configure two units together to create a Synology High Availability (SHA) cluster for maximum service uptime and minute-level failover ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08T1RBD4L | | Best Sellers Rank | #19 in Network Attached Storage (NAS) Devices | | Brand | Synology | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, Server, Smart Phone | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (94) | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 5 Years | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Is Assembly Required | Yes | | Manufacturer | Synology | | Mfr Part Number | RS1221+ | | Model Number | RS1221+ | | Mounting Type | Rack Mount | | Size | RS1221+ | | UPC | 846504003686 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 3 years | | Weight Capacity | Minimum weight: 20.6 Pounds | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Synology - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop, Server, Smart Phone - **Material:** Metal - **Size:** RS1221+ ## Images ![RS1221+ - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51wIJ32FijL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Exactly how loud is this thing? should i put it in my office where i have multiple (but very quiet) pc's or should i find a basement for it?** A: Be aware, this is noisy! Spec says 25.2dba noise level. (I have a 1621+ rated at 25.2dba sitting two feet from me and it is whisper quiet). When I started the RP1221+ it was way, way louder than 25.2dba. I checked the settings and it was on Cool Mode (medium speed). To test it I switched it to Full Speed Mode and the fans went to max speed and sounded like a small wind storm (which is expected). I switched it back to Cool Mode and the fan noise dropped noticeably but still way noisier than 25dba. I switched it to Quiet Mode (slowest fan speed) but the fan speed did not change. I switched back and forth between Cool Mode and Quiet Mode but it always stayed the same. I only had one single SSD drive installed. The room temp was cool at about 68F. This is too noisy for me and I will have to return this and get another 1621+. Hope this helps. **Q: Is this 10GB?** A: If you are asking about 10GbE (10Gb Ethernet) support, no by default. The RS1221+/RS1221RP+ have 4-ports of 1GbE with the option to install a PCIe card that supports 10GbE (sold separately, of course). **Q: how deep is it?** A: 11.75" Deep, 17" Width without Ears, 19" with Ears, 3.5" Height **Q: Can i use non-synology branded hard drives with this nas?** A: sure. you can ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast rack based Synology server—nice build quality. *by B***C on March 3, 2021* An upgrade on an older '+' style Synology box.

Equipment is working great, has been reliable, no issues. ## Frequently Bought Together - Synology 8 Bay RackStation RS1221+ (Diskless) - Synology 10Gb Ethernet and M.2 Adapter card E10M20-T1, RJ-45; 1 port - A-Tech 32GB (2x16GB) RAM Replacement for Synology D4ECSO-2666-16G, D4ES01-16G | DDR4 2666MHz PC4-21300 ECC SODIMM 2Rx8 1.2V Memory Upgrade for NAS DiskStation, RackStation, FlashStation, & NVR DVA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/277727920-rs1221](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/277727920-rs1221) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
