About this product
The Synology RX1217 is a 12-bay rack-mountable drive enclosure designed for expansion, featuring an Infiniband host interface. It supports 3.5-inch HDDs and SSDs with SAS, SATA III, and SATA I interfaces, offering a transfer rate of 6 Gbit/s. This unit is unpopulated, providing no storage capacity out of the box, and is specifically compatible with the Synology RS3617xs NAS server. It features a solid state design and is intended for large-scale storage expansion.
Our take
As an expansion unit, the Synology RX1217 offers impressive capacity with its 12 bays, which is perfect for growing storage needs when paired with a compatible Synology RS3617xs NAS. The support for both SAS and SATA III drives, along with a 6 Gbit/s transfer rate, ensures versatility and decent performance. However, it's crucial to note that this unit is unpopulated, so you'll need to factor in the cost of 12 drives. Also, the Infiniband host interface is a specialized connection, meaning it's not a standalone solution and requires a specific Synology NAS to function. It's a targeted solution for serious storage scalability.
