Storage vendor Synology this morning announced the availability of two additions to its rack-mounted storage appliance lineup: the 1U RS816, which has room for four internal disks, and the 2U RS3617xs, with 12 internal drive bays and up to 36 disks with additional enclosures.
Although it has been a while since we last did a review, Synology’s network attached storage (NAS) devices are pretty popular with Ars staff and readers. But these new rackmount offerings are meant for data centers, not home server closets—not unless you’re the kind of person with a 19″ rack at home (and we know you folks are out there!).
