Synology today launched the RackStation RS1226+ and RS1226RP+, two 2U 8-bay storage systems engineered for small and medium-sized businesses requiring compact, reliable data management. Featuring a short-depth chassis, both models are ideal for space-constrained environments such as branch offices and network closets.
“Modern remote offices need storage solutions that offer high performance and capacity without increasing management complexity,” said Julien Chen, Product Manager at Synology. “The RS1226+ and RS1226RP+ provide growing teams with a highly dependable foundation that ensure rapid file access and uninterrupted workflows.”
The RS1226+ and RS1226RP+ deliver sequential read and write speeds of over 2,300/1,500 MB/s1. New to this generation, built-in 2.5GbE ports and M.2 NVMe slots ensure faster network transfers and rapid SSD caching for demanding applications, with optional 10/25GbE connectivity available for higher-bandwidth environments.2
The systems are designed to scale with business growth from 8 to up to 12 drive bays with Synology RX426 expansion unit. Dual power supplies keep the RS1226RP+ running through unexpected outages, while hot-swappable drive trays and online volume management let both models stay online during maintenance and upgrades.
The RS1226+ and RS1226RP+ is available from the end of July 2026 through Synology’s network of partners and resellers worldwide.
