Consistent business platform
A quad-core AMD Ryzen processor and ECC memory support dependable day-to-day storage and data-management services.
Four-bay SATA storage
Use supported 3.5-inch SATA HDDs or 2.5-inch SATA SSDs in four hot-swappable bays.
Capacity expansion
A separately sold RX426 expansion unit increases the supported bay count from four to eight.
Network upgrade path
The supplied PCIe slot supports listed 10GbE or 25GbE network-interface options for compatible deployments.

Who is the Synology RS826+ best for?
A strong choice for
- Small and medium business shared storage
- Rack-based backup and file-sync workflows
- Sites that need four built-in 1GbE ports
- Teams planning later 10GbE or 25GbE expansion
- Video-management deployments requiring up to 40 listed IP cameras
- Deployments that do not require redundant power
Consider another model if you need
- You need more than eight supported drive bays
- You require built-in 10GbE or 25GbE rather than an optional adapter
- Your deployment requires redundant power supplies
