Most Synology's devices have a 1-3 year update lifecycle, depending on a specific model. Regardless if we are talking about DS (desktop) or RS/SA/UC (rack) units, for the most part, users will have an option to buy or update their existing NAS with a successor at one point in time.
In February of 2023, Synology rolled out an updated 12-bay RS NAS as their follow-up of the RS2421+/RP+, called RS2423+RP+. Just like the previous generation, this particular model is designed as a versatile storage solution for business workloads.
