blackvoid Synology RS1226+/RP+ overview

As the second quarter moves along and the summer is in full swing, Synology has another RS model refresh ready with imminent release. Following the 1U RS826+/RP+ model back in June, this time around, we will get a somewhat anticipated 8-bay model. This particular 8-bay 2U model was not refreshed since its predecessor back in 2020, the RS1221+. Well, looks like the time has arrived, and while it has almost no changes compared to the previous model, the new RS1226RP+ was, in fact, updated on several fronts.

The new RS1226RP+ with an identical front look, offers a few upgrades compared to its predecessor

Not sure why tbh. Considering how long you were waiting for the x21 successor, I though you would be off the platform by now?

Not sure if this model and its hw came as a surprise or not, but personally, I was right on the money. This is just a “standard” 8bay NAS in a rack version. Seeing as how the DS lineup was refreshed last year, this particular update is right up there.

Still, this is the company’s MO, a known fact that will not change any time soon, if ever.
