Description
The Synology RS822+ is a versatile 4-bay rackmount NAS engineered to streamline data management in space-constrained environments. Powered by the AMD Ryzen V1500B quad-core processor and 2GB of DDR4 ECC memory (expandable to 32GB), this unit delivers impressive sequential throughput of over 2,103 MB/s read and 1,074 MB/s write. Its 1U chassis design makes it an ideal fit for standard server racks, providing professional-grade storage without the footprint of larger servers. With built-in support for the Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) ecosystem, it offers a robust suite of solutions for backup, file management, and private cloud collaboration.
This product is for:
This system is specifically tailored for five key user profiles:
- Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) requiring a centralized, high-speed file server for cross-platform collaboration.
- IT Administrators looking for a reliable edge storage node with built-in data redundancy and failover capabilities.
- Creative Professionals needing a rack-mounted solution for high-speed media ingestion and project archiving.
- Surveillance Operators seeking a stable platform for Synology Surveillance Station to manage up to 40 IP cameras.
- Remote Office/Branch Office (ROBO) deployments that need local data caching and seamless synchronization with a central headquarters.

Operating the RS822+ provides a seamless enterprise experience through the Synology DSM interface. The inclusion of ECC memory ensures data integrity by automatically detecting and correcting bit errors, which is critical for business-critical applications. Users can leverage Synology High Availability (SHA) to pair two units into an active-passive cluster, minimizing downtime during hardware failures. The PCIe expansion slot allows for future-proofing, enabling users to add 10GbE networking or M.2 NVMe SSD caching to significantly reduce latency for high-demand databases or virtual machine storage.
When compared to standard desktop NAS units, the RS822+ offers superior rack integration and thermal management. Unlike the RS822RP+, this standard model features a single power supply, making it a more cost-effective choice for environments where external UPS systems provide sufficient power redundancy. It bridges the gap between entry-level storage and high-end enterprise servers, offering the same software capabilities as the SA or UC series but in a more accessible 1U form factor that supports both 3.5" and 2.5" SATA drives.
Q&A:
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Can the RS822+ support 10GbE networking? Yes, the integrated PCIe Gen3 slot allows for the installation of a 10GbE or 25GbE network interface card to increase bandwidth.
- How many total drives can I manage with this unit? The base unit holds 4 drives, but it can be expanded to a total of 8 drives using a Synology RX418 expansion unit connected via the eSATA port.
- Is the RAM user-upgradeable? Yes, the system comes with 2GB ECC memory and can be upgraded to a maximum of 32GB (two 16GB modules) to support more concurrent tasks and virtual machines.
- Does this model support SSD caching? Yes, you can use 2.5" SATA SSDs in the primary bays or install an M.2 NVMe SSD adapter card in the PCIe slot to enable high-speed caching without occupying drive bays.
- What is the warranty coverage for the RS822+? This product comes with a standard 3-year hardware warranty, which can be extended to 5 years with the optional EW202 bundle.
