RS3617xs+ comes with two 10GBase-T and four 1GbE ports, and additionally allows for the installation of two optional 10GbE Network Interface Cards (NIC).

RS3617RPxs leverages a 2.4 GHz quad-core processor, delivering solid performance with over 3,829 MB/s sequential throughput and 433,873 IOPS when used with 4 x 10GbE Link Aggregation enabled1.  

Both RS3617xs+ and RS3617RPxs are equipped with 8GB DDR4 ECC RAM (upgradable to 64GB), ensuring data integrity when handling high-value data. The two RackStations also support Synology High Availability and offer a suite of redundancy mechanisms including system fans and network ports with failover support. Redundant power supplies are available on the RS3617xs+ and RS3617RPxs to further maximize system uptime. RS3617xs+ and RS3617RPxs both provide seamless storage solutions for virtualization environments including VMware, Citrix, Hyper-V, and OpenStack.

Running on a 1.33 GHz dual-core processor, the two-bay RS217 delivers great performance with encrypted reading and writing speeds of 113 MB/s and 67 MB/s, reaching a 214% performance gain in overall encrypted data processing when compared with its predecessor2. RS217 also delivers outstanding non-encrypted performance exceeding 210 MB/s in reading and 127 MB/s in writing. Its compact 12-inch design fits perfectly into 2-post racks and wall mount racks without the need for additional rail kits, making it suitable for deployment in both industrial standard environments, smaller server rooms, and other work areas with limited space.
