Synology RackStation RS2825RP+ 16-Bay Rackmount NAS

A Reliable and Cost-Effective Data Management Hub for Business Workloads

The Synology RackStation RS2825RP+ is a versatile and cost-effective 3U 16-bay storage server designed for central data storage and sharing, endpoint and server backup, surveillance management, and other essential business applications. It’s an ideal solution for small to medium-sized businesses and remote office deployments, delivering impressive performance of over 3,519 MB/s sequential read and 1,790 MB/s sequential write to power demanding workloads. With its extensive storage capacity and comprehensive data protection features, the RS2825RP+ provides a reliable and scalable foundation for your business data.

The RackStation “Plus” Series

Synology’s RackStation “Plus” series offers a robust blend of performance, capacity, and reliability in a rack-mountable form factor, making it the perfect fit for small and medium-sized businesses looking to centralize their data management. These models feature powerful processors, error-correcting (ECC) memory, and built-in high-speed networking options to handle multi-user environments with ease. With the flexibility to add PCIe upgrade cards and scale with expansion units, the Plus series provides a significant step up from desktop models, delivering the enterprise-ready features needed for a modern server closet.

What’s New: RS2825RP+ vs. RS2821RP+

The RS2825RP+ delivers a substantial performance uplift compared to its predecessor, the RS2821RP+. The new model is equipped with a significantly more powerful AMD Ryzen™ V1780B quad-core processor, offering higher base and turbo clock speeds for faster application responsiveness and processing power. Another key upgrade is in networking; the RS2825RP+ now comes standard with a built-in 10GbE RJ-45 port alongside two Gigabit ports, providing high-speed connectivity out of the box without needing to occupy the PCIe slot.

The Redundant Power Advantage

The “RP” in the RS2825RP+ model name signifies a critical feature for business continuity: Redundant Power. The unit is equipped with two hot-swappable power supply units (PSUs) that work in tandem. In normal operation, they share the electrical load, but if one PSU fails or its power source is interrupted, the other instantly takes over the full operational load seamlessly. This ensures the RackStation remains online and services continue running without any downtime, protecting your business from disruptions caused by a single point of failure in the power delivery system.

Optimised for Synology Drives

For the best possible performance, stability, and longevity, it is highly recommended to populate your RS2825RP+ with Synology-validated drives, such as the HAT5300 series enterprise HDDs or SAT5200 series SSDs. These drives are specifically engineered and rigorously tested to work seamlessly with Synology’s hardware and DSM operating system. This tight integration ensures that the drives and the NAS can communicate perfectly, unlocking peak performance and providing enhanced monitoring and maintenance features that are not available with third-party drives.

The Synology Drive Advantage

Choosing Synology drives over third-party options provides a more reliable and streamlined user experience. Synology drives undergo thousands of hours of stringent stress testing on the exact NAS models they are intended for, guaranteeing compatibility and resilience under heavy workloads. A key advantage is the ability to perform firmware updates directly through DSM, a feature not possible with other brands. This ensures your entire storage system, from the OS to the drive firmware, is always up-to-date and secure, providing long-term peace of mind and a single point of contact for support.
