Review: 100% FUNCIONAL - ES MAS DE LO QUE ESPERABA
Review: Fast rack based Synology server—nice build quality. - An upgrade on an older '+' style Synology box. The previous physical drives transferred over fine and the new PAT rebuilt the DSM without too much hassle. I forgot to delete the Bond setting from the previous Synology box (before backing it up) and thought I'd have to fry the DSM on the RS1221+ in order to clear that setting (moving from 2 ports bonded to 4 ports bonded) but I managed to use the reset and force it to delete and reconfigure. Only one Cat 5 could be plugged in while achieving this reset—not all four—once realised easily fixed. The password reset method isn't well described but otherwise everything is fine. Still running the drives back in on the new box without upgrading the RAM (32GB) or network connection (10Gb). It's nicely built, not over the top, and fits well into the rack. The fan noise has increased considerably over the smaller Synology boxes but not quite as loud as a dedicated server build (though this is only a quarter of the size). A two bay Synology is whisper quiet, a 5 bay had some fan noise but can be drowned out by drive chatter, this 8 bay unit has real fan noise (on it's lowest, 'quiet' setting) and has a presence in the office. Destined for a cupboard anyway but I'd suggest planning for isolation if you like peace and quiet. My last Synology box lasted for over 10 years without any huge issues but doesn't match this for pace of file delivery, build quality (much more metal involved) or simple storage capacity. It doesn't present the fastest preview yet (for really big files) but with plenty of upgrades to come it has the legs to be a powerful performer in a small form factor. It came double boxed and is well protected for transportation. It's a nice unit for those who just need things to work; have large storage needs; don't like constantly rebuilding backup solutions or having multiple drives rolling around. The Synology DSM has many reviews elsewhere. Thumbs up.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Exactly how loud is this thing? should i put it in my office where i have multiple (but very quiet) pc's or should i find a basement for it?**
A: Be aware, this is noisy! Spec says 25.2dba noise level. (I have a 1621+ rated at 25.2dba sitting two feet from me and it is whisper quiet). When I started the RP1221+ it was way, way louder than 25.2dba. I checked the settings and it was on Cool Mode (medium speed). To test it I switched it to Full Speed Mode and the fans went to max speed and sounded like a small wind storm (which is expected). I switched it back to Cool Mode and the fan noise dropped noticeably but still way noisier than 25dba. I switched it to Quiet Mode (slowest fan speed) but the fan speed did not change. I switched back and forth between Cool Mode and Quiet Mode but it always stayed the same. I only had one single SSD drive installed. The room temp was cool at about 68F. This is too noisy for me and I will have to return this and get another 1621+. Hope this helps.

**Q: Is this 10GB?**
A: If you are asking about 10GbE (10Gb Ethernet) support, no by default. The RS1221+/RS1221RP+ have 4-ports of 1GbE with the option to install a PCIe card that supports 10GbE (sold separately, of course).

**Q: how deep is it?**
A: 11.75" Deep, 17" Width without Ears, 19" with Ears, 3.5" Height

**Q: Can i use non-synology branded hard drives with this nas?**
A: sure. you can

### ⭐ 正常時は問題なし。しかし故障後のサポート体制は日本での業務利用に不向き
*by J***Y on 19 November 2025*

業務用途として RS1221+ を購入しました。通常運用では性能も十分で、筐体の作りもしっかりしており、DSM の使い勝手も良好でした。この段階では特に不満はありませんでした。 問題は、DSM の定例アップデート後の再起動で突然まったく起動しなくなったことです。電源ボタンを押しても反応がなく、LED もファンも一切動作せず、完全に沈黙しました。ハードウェア故障自体はあり得るとしても、その後のサポート対応でより深刻な問題が明らかになりました。 Synology も、正規代理店である 株式会社フィールド・レイク も、先出し交換（Advanced Replacement）を日本では一切提供していません。ビジネス用途であっても例外はなく、保証金や本人確認などを提示しても不可能との回答でした。その後の案内でも フィールド・レイク から「日本では先出し交換の仕組みがそもそも存在しない」と明言されました。 唯一の対応方法は「故障品を先に送り、台湾から届く代替機を代理店経由で受け取る」方式だけです。 ユーザーが故障機を フィールド・レイク に送付し、代理店が台湾から代替機を受け取り、それをユーザーに再発送する流れです。どれだけ急いでも数日〜数週間かかります。 業務用途でこの対応は現実的ではありません。北米や欧州で提供されているようなビジネス継続性を前提としたサポートは、日本には用意されていません。つまり、製品は「ビジネス向け」として販売されている一方で、故障した瞬間にサポート体制は完全に「家庭向け」レベルになります。ダウンタイムを抑える手段が存在せず、業務継続という観点では非常に脆弱です。 RS1221+ は正常に動いている間は問題なく使えます。しかし一度故障すると、日本国内のサポート体制では業務継続がほぼ不可能になります。Synology が日本でも本当にビジネス用途を想定するのであれば、サポート体制の抜本的な改善が必要です。 家庭用途やメディア保存用途であれば問題ありません（ラックマウントとしてはやや特殊ですが）。 しかし、業務用途、特にダウンタイムが許されない環境では適した製品ではありません。
