About this product
The Synology RackStation RS819 is a 4-bay NAS designed for rack-mount installations, offering a substantial 16TB of storage capacity from four 4TB drives. This external drive solution is tested and specified to provide a 4x write speed. It's built by Synology, a reputable brand in network-attached storage, and is suitable for environments requiring high storage density and reliable data access within a rack infrastructure. The inclusion of the drives means it's ready for immediate deployment.
Our take
For those needing a rack-mounted NAS, the Synology RackStation RS819 looks like a practical choice. It comes pre-loaded with 16TB from four 4TB drives, which means it's ready to go right out of the box without the need to source individual hard drives. The "Tested" tag is reassuring for a piece of rack equipment. The 4x write speed claim implies decent performance for its class. At $700.00, considering it's a 4-bay rack unit with drives included, it offers a good balance of capacity and form factor for a small server room or IT closet setup.
