Review: Fast rack based Synology server—nice build quality. - An upgrade on an older '+' style Synology box. The previous physical drives transferred over fine and the new PAT rebuilt the DSM without too much hassle. I forgot to delete the Bond setting from the previous Synology box (before backing it up) and thought I'd have to fry the DSM on the RS1221+ in order to clear that setting (moving from 2 ports bonded to 4 ports bonded) but I managed to use the reset and force it to delete and reconfigure. Only one Cat 5 could be plugged in while achieving this reset—not all four—once realised easily fixed. The password reset method isn't well described but otherwise everything is fine. Still running the drives back in on the new box without upgrading the RAM (32GB) or network connection (10Gb). It's nicely built, not over the top, and fits well into the rack. The fan noise has increased considerably over the smaller Synology boxes but not quite as loud as a dedicated server build (though this is only a quarter of the size). A two bay Synology is whisper quiet, a 5 bay had some fan noise but can be drowned out by drive chatter, this 8 bay unit has real fan noise (on it's lowest, 'quiet' setting) and has a presence in the office. Destined for a cupboard anyway but I'd suggest planning for isolation if you like peace and quiet. My last Synology box lasted for over 10 years without any huge issues but doesn't match this for pace of file delivery, build quality (much more metal involved) or simple storage capacity. It doesn't present the fastest preview yet (for really big files) but with plenty of upgrades to come it has the legs to be a powerful performer in a small form factor. It came double boxed and is well protected for transportation. It's a nice unit for those who just need things to work; have large storage needs; don't like constantly rebuilding backup solutions or having multiple drives rolling around. The Synology DSM has many reviews elsewhere. Thumbs up.
Review: Solid system despite all the recent Synology drawbacks. - Solid performance. This is the first rack mount Synology I’ve owned everything else has been desktop (we have three 8 bay desktop NAS as well). This is excellent, although much louder than our desktops but it does have redundant power supply and a smaller form factor so to be expected.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Exactly how loud is this thing? should i put it in my office where i have multiple (but very quiet) pc's or should i find a basement for it?**
A: Be aware, this is noisy! Spec says 25.2dba noise level. (I have a 1621+ rated at 25.2dba sitting two feet from me and it is whisper quiet). When I started the RP1221+ it was way, way louder than 25.2dba. I checked the settings and it was on Cool Mode (medium speed). To test it I switched it to Full Speed Mode and the fans went to max speed and sounded like a small wind storm (which is expected). I switched it back to Cool Mode and the fan noise dropped noticeably but still way noisier than 25dba. I switched it to Quiet Mode (slowest fan speed) but the fan speed did not change. I switched back and forth between Cool Mode and Quiet Mode but it always stayed the same. I only had one single SSD drive installed. The room temp was cool at about 68F. This is too noisy for me and I will have to return this and get another 1621+. Hope this helps.

**Q: Is this 10GB?**
A: If you are asking about 10GbE (10Gb Ethernet) support, no by default. The RS1221+/RS1221RP+ have 4-ports of 1GbE with the option to install a PCIe card that supports 10GbE (sold separately, of course).

**Q: how deep is it?**
A: 11.75" Deep, 17" Width without Ears, 19" with Ears, 3.5" Height

**Q: Can i use non-synology branded hard drives with this nas?**
A: sure. you can

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid system despite all the recent Synology drawbacks.
*by S***E on October 23, 2025*

Solid performance. This is the first rack mount Synology I’ve owned everything else has been desktop (we have three 8 bay desktop NAS as well). This is excellent, although much louder than our desktops but it does have redundant power supply and a smaller form factor so to be expected.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great home NAS
*by S***K on July 20, 2024*

Bought as a replacement for a home theater pc that was also a gaming PC. The ability to run PLEX as an installed app directly from the NAS is great as well. There was some networking that needed to be setup to provide access from outside the local network but there's enough kb articles online to get it done. I've had no problems with performance (compute or network) on my home network. User interface is great for the price and updates are easily installed so no IT background is required, just simple smarts.
