2U Compact Storage Server
Synology RS1219+ is a 8-bay network attached storage solution with high performance and scalable capacity. RS1219+ supports up to 12 drives when connecting with one RX418 expansion unit, allowing you to easily scale up on demand.

In addition to a 10GbE add-on card, the PCle slot also supports the optional M.2 SATA SSD adapter card to function as an SSD cache to greatly enhance storage performance without using the 3.5″ drive bays. RS1219+ is equipped with a quad-core processor and 2GB DDR3 memory (expandable up to 16GB). In a 10GbE network environment, RS1219+ delivers outstanding sequential throughput performance at over 1,310 MB/s reading and 470 MB/s writing.

Btrfs: Next Generation Storage Efficiency
RS1219+ introduces the Btrfs file system, bringing the most advanced storage technologies to meet the management needs of modern businesses:

• Advanced snapshot technology with customisable backup schedule allows up to 1,024 copies of shared folder backups in a minimum 5-minute interval without occupying huge storage capacity and system resources.
• File or folder level data restoration brings huge conveniences and saves time for users who wish to restore only a specific file or folder.
• Flexible Shared Folder and User Quota System provides comprehensive quota control on all user accounts and shared folders.
• Built-in data integrity check detects data and file system corruption with data and meta-data checksums and improves the overall stability.
• File self-healing: Btrfs file system is able to auto-detect corrupted files with mirrored metadata, and to recover broken data using supported RAID volumes, which include RAID1, 5, 6, and 10.
• A cutting-edge iSCSI service built for IT administrators that offers advanced LUN and provides with lightning-fast snapshot creation, recovery and cloning.
