![]() That 8GB memory MIGHT be down to increasing shortages in available memory at the production level (affecting many brands and changing the base level of quite a large number of releases in the last 6-12months) and therefore it might have just been simpler to include 8GB by default and increase the base price a few % OR swallow the loss a little as 8GB DDR4 (even ECC) is typically still going to be the same module allocation on a RAM PCB, but twice the quantity of MB/GB per cell. Synology has been increasing the range of solutions in its portfolio that support ECC memory and as this is rackstation NAS, it was largely inevitable that it would have this high-data-integrity long-term protecting memory in place! Both the clock speed of this processor and the inclusion of twice the standard memory featured in the previous generations of this series are going to be appealing to many users. Alongside this, the RS2423+ NAS also arrives with 8GB of ECC SODIMM DDR4 Memory that can be upgraded to 32GB over two slots, using Synology branded memory. The Synology RS2423+ NAS arrives with an AMD Embedded Ryzen V1780B, a quad-core (8 thread) x86 CPU that has a 3.35Ghz clock speed. Network Upgrades and/or M.2 NVMe SSD Cache Card Upgrades Quad Core / Eight Thread 3.35Ghz Processor RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and Synology Hybrid RAID ![]() PSU Fan(s) and 3x 60圆0cm Internal Fans (removable) But the real question for many is whether this is a suitable upgrade for existing Synology Rackstation users who might well be running an older-gen RS1219+ or RS2418+? Here are the initial specifications: There isn’t any M.2 NVMe SSD slots (quite rare on Synology Rackstations) but there is the option to them via a PCIe upgrade and as the system is a PLUS series device there is the inclusion of Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) alongside the usual RAID options. ![]() There are the usual 12 SATA slots (all lockable), 2U height with optional handles, half a metre depth and a reliance on LED indicators rather than an LCD screen etc. The bulk of the physical design of the RS2423+ Rackstation remains the same as the bulk of 12-Bay Rackmounts in Synology’s portfolio. Synology RS2423+ NAS Rackmount Hardware Specifications Let’s discuss this new and interesting rackmount NAS and ponder whether this is a turning point in the hardware on offer in the SMB Synology Rackstation tier of their portfolio. Indeed, this 12 bay rackmount seemingly matches the recent XS series release, but manages to still remain in the PLUS series. ![]() For a brand that occasionally gets criticism for being a little bland in it’s hardware choices, the Synology RS2423+ (also RS2423RP+ Redundant PSU version) scales up on it’s DS2421+ predecessor with a noticeably more powerful CPU, twice the memory and a significant increase in base level bandwidth. Last week was the release of the DS1823xs+, but possibly more interesting is the RS2423+ – a new 12-Bay Rackstation server that has taken the existing formula of this product series and scaled it up in some surprising ways. In just two short months, they have formally and informally revealed a series of hardware solutions, beta software updates and are now beginning the rollout of their SMB/large-scale solutions. ![]() To say that Synology has been active in the first quarter of 2023 would be a fantastic understatement. 9.2 Related Synology RS2423+ and RS2423RP+ 10GbE NAS Rackmount Revealed ![]()
