Synology RX418 User Manual

Expansion Unit

RX418

Synology RX418 delivers an eortless solution for volume expansion and data backup for Synology 1U

RackStation1 by adding 4 additional SATA drive bays on-the-y. With its short-depth chassis design, RX418

ensures easy installation and deployment in 2-post racks and wall mount racks. Synology RX418 is backed

with Synology’s 3-year2 limited warranty.

Storage Capacity Expansion

When the storage capacity on Synology 1U RackStation reaches its limit, Synology
expansion unit RX418 provides easy capacity expansion by adding 4 3.5"/2.5" SATA
drives to the system. Synology RX418 can also be used as a dedicated local backup
destination of Synology 1U RackStation for comprehensive data protection.

Reliable Plug-and-play Design

Simply connect Synology RX418 to corresponding Synology RackStation and it is ready
to use. Drives in the connected Synology RX418 operate as though they were internal
to the connected Synology NAS and can be managed directly by Synology DiskStation
Manager (DSM), with no additional software installation required.

Green and Easy to Manage

Award-winning Synology DSM provides an intuitive user interface for easy system
management. Drive hibernation can be congured in DSM to take eect automatically
when the system has been inactive for a period of time. This not only saves energy but
also extends the lifespan of the installed drives.
