Synology today announced the availability of the RS826RP+ and RS826+, compact 1U 4-bay rackmount storage systems designed to help small and medium-sized businesses efficiently manage and protect data across edge and remote environments. "RS826RP+ and RS826+ deliver dependable performance and flexible scalability in a compact form factor, making them ideal for branch offices and distributed deployments," said Susan Yen, Product Manager at Synology.

Powered by a 4-core AMD Ryzen V1500 B processor, the systems deliver sequential read/write speeds of over 2,000/1,300 MB/s, helping teams accelerate file sharing, synchronization, and backup tasks. Four built-in 1GbE ports and a PCIe 3.0 expansion slot provide flexible networking options with support for 10/25GbE connectivity, while dual Synology M.2 SSDs via an adapter card can enable SSD caching to reduce latency.

Designed with scalability and reliability in mind, the RS826RP+ and RS826+ can expand from 4 to up to 8 drive bays with the new Synology RX426 expansion unit. For maximum uptime, dual power supplies provide power redundancy in the RS826RP+, while hot-swappable drive trays and online volume management allow servicing without interrupting operation across both models.

Powered by Synology's DiskStation Manager (DSM), the systems provide integrated tools including Synology Drive for private cloud access, Virtual Machine Manager and Container Manager for VM storage and hosting, and Synology Tiering for storage cost optimization. The RS826(RP)+ will be available starting August 12, 2026.
