Product description

• Synology RackStation RS4017xs+ 16-Bay NAS Enclosure The Synology RackStation RS4017xs+ 16-Bay NAS Enclosure features four Gigabit Ethernet and two 10GbE ports as well as sixteen storage bays, so you can provide a custom storage solution for network-connected users. The sixteen bays support SATA-based 2.5" SSDs as well as 2.5" and 3.5" HDDs. Once user-supplied drives are installed into the bays, you can configure them in a RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, JBOD, or Basic mode to preserve data and increase the drives' read and write speeds. Aside from storage capabilities, the RS4017xs+ leverages a 2.1 GHz Intel Xeon D-1541 octa-core processor and 8GB of DDR4 ECC memory to quickly manage and deliver data.
  
  The RackStation RS4017xs+ comes with two expansion port as well as two USB 3.0 ports for attaching optional storage expansion units, thumb drives, and other devices. For future upgrades, the RS4017xs+ can hold up to 64GB of RAM and additional 10GbE network interfaces cards installed in its two PCIe 3.0 x8 slots. To cool all the internal components, three onboard 80mm fans spin at various speeds to help dissipate the internal heat. In addition, the NAS features a 3 RU rack-mountable design and runs on two redundant 800W power supplies.
  Performance
  • The RS4017xs+ is built as a reliable storage solution with fast performance at over 690,000 sequential read IOPS and 4900 MB/s sequential read throughputs. DDR4 ECC RDIMM and 10GbE connectivity provide data accuracy and performance for a mission-critical environment.
  Scalability and Reliability
  • The RS4017xs+ provides flexible storage scalability with optional RX1217 or RX1217RP expansion units. You can connect up to 2 expansion units to the RS4017xs+, allowing a business to start small and scale big.
  Virtualization Solutions
  • Synology iSCSI storage fully supports most virtualization solutions to enhance work efficiency with easy management interface. VMware vSphere 6 and VAAI integration helps offload storage operations and optimizes computation efficiency. Windows Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) speeds up data transfer and migration rate. OpenStack Cinder support turns your Synology NAS into a block-based storage component.
  Storage Efficiency
  • The Btrfs file system introduces advanced storage technologies to meet the management needs of modern large scale businesses: flexible shared folder/user quota system, snapshot replication, file or folder level data restoration, and automatic file self-healing detection and recovery.
  Safeguarding Data
  • The RS4017xs+ comes with a high-availability feature that helps ensure seamless transition between clustered servers in the event of a server failure with minimal impact to applications. To maximize storage space, Hyper Backup is available for backing up data in multiple versions with block-level incremental backup and cross-version deduplication. Moreover, the RS4017xs+ includes Cloud Station suite, providing automatic cross-platform data synchronization with file version control.
  Additional Features
  • • CMS - Manage multiple Synology NAS servers simultaneously through a centralized interface to increase administrative efficiency and flexibility
    • MailPlus - Set up a secure, reliable, and private mail server with a stylish and intuitive user interface
    • Collaboration Suite - Synology Office, Calendar, and Chat for private communication and user-friendly content organization

• 16 x WD 6TB Red 5400 rpm SATA III 3.5" Internal NAS HDD (OEM) Designed with home and small office/business customers in mind, the 6TB Red 5400 rpm SATA III 3.5" Internal NAS HDD from WD is well-suited for NAS environments with up to eight 3.5" drive bays. Engineered to handle increased workloads, this 6TB drive operates using a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, a 64MB cache, and a rotational speed of 5400 rpm, all of which help to ensure uninterrupted data transfers with a sustained rate of up to 175 MB/s. This drive also features high levels of reliability, with 600,000 load/unload cycles, <10 in 10¹⁴ non-recoverable read errors per bits read, error recovery controls, and 1,000,000 hours MTBF for 1-8 bay NAS systems. Also built into this drive are noise and vibration protection and WD's NASware 3.0 helps increase system compatibility, allowing WD Red drives to be more easily integrated with your existing network infrastructure.

  General Features

  Fill Your NAS with WD Red
  • Built for 1 to 8-bay NAS systems, WD Red lets users store their data in one unit
  NASware 3.0 Technology
  • Built into every WD Red hard drive, NASware 3.0's technology helps improves your system's storage performance by increasing compatibility, integration, upgradeability, and reliability
  Built for NAS Compatibility
  • Desktop drives aren't purpose-built for NAS, but WD Red drives with NASware are. WD's technology helps takes the guesswork out of selecting a drive. WD Red is for small NAS systems and WD's algorithm balances performance and reliability in NAS and RAID environments
  Desktop Drives vs. WD Red
  • Desktop hard drives are not designed for NAS environments. Do right by your NAS and choose a drive with an array of features to help preserve your data and maintain optimum performance. Take the following into consideration when choosing a hard drive for your NAS:
    
  • Compatibility: Without being tested for compatibility with your NAS system, improved performance is not guaranteed
  • Reliability: The always-on environment of a NAS or RAID is a hot one and desktop drives aren't typically tested in those conditions. WD Red is
  • Error Recovery Controls: WD Red NAS hard drives are specifically designed with RAID error recovery control to help reduce failures within the NAS system. Desktop drives are not typically designed for RAID environments where this can be an issue
  • Noise and Vibration Protection: Designed to operate solo, desktop drives offer little or no protection from the noise and vibration faced in a multi-drive system. WD Red drives are designed for multi-bay NAS systems
  WD Red for Home
  • Stream, backup, share, and organize your digital content at home with a NAS and WD Red drives designed to share content to the devices in your home. Red NASware helps increase your drives' compatibility with your devices, TV, stereo, and more
  WD Red for Small Business
  • WD Red is a good hard drive choice for 1 to 8 bay systems. NASware 3.0 allows for integration with your existing network so WD Red can share and backup files at the speed of your business. For larger businesses with up to 16 bays, use WD Red Pro
  3D Active Balance Plus
  • This helps ensure your data is protected from excessive vibration and noise in a NAS or RAID environment. This dual-plane balance control helps reduce the degradation of your drive over time
  Reliability
  • Since your NAS system is always on, a reliable drive is essential. With an MTBF of up to 1 million hours, the WD Red drive with NASware 3.0 is designed for 24x7 environments
  Cooler Operations
  • By reducing power consumption, the operating temperature of your NAS stays cooler. With a lower temperature in your system, you can create a more reliable solution for your NAS
