Synology RackStation RS1626xs+ 4-Bay Rackmount NAS

Synology RackStation RS1626xs+

The Powerful and Scalable 1U Business Storage Solution

The Synology RS1626xs+ is a high-performance 1U rackmount NAS designed to meet the rigorous data management needs of modern businesses. Powered by an enterprise-grade Intel Xeon processor and 16 GB of ECC memory, it offers a reliable platform for virtualization, high-speed file sharing, and AI-driven data processing. With support for up to 16 drives and built-in 10GbE connectivity, it provides the flexibility and speed required for bandwidth-heavy applications.

The Synology RackStation RS1626xs+ is the centerpiece of the new 2026 lineup, serving as the direct successor to the long-standing RS1619xs+. This next-generation 1U solution delivers substantial hardware upgrades, moving from the 4-core Xeon D-1527 to a more powerful 6-core Intel Xeon D-1726 processor. It doubles the standard memory to 16 GB of ECC RDIMM and replaces the older quad 1GbE networking with built-in dual 10GbE ports and a dedicated out-of-band management port for enterprise-grade reliability.

Choosing a RackStation XS model over a Plus series unit like the RS822+ offers significant advantages for intensive business environments. While the Plus series is designed as an efficient edge storage solution with Ryzen processors and 1GbE networking, the XS series provides enterprise-tier performance with Xeon CPUs and standard 10GbE connectivity to handle demanding virtualization and AI workloads. Furthermore, XS models include a 5-year limited warranty as standard, compared to the 3-year term typically found on Plus models, and support higher memory capacities with ECC RDIMM for superior data integrity.
