Product Features
Technical Overview
At the heart of the RS3621XS+ is the Intel Xeon D-1541 system-on-chip, an octa-core processor running at 2.10 GHz. This platform combines server-class CPU performance with integrated networking and I/O, making it ideal for storage-intensive applications without excessive power draw.
Storage management is handled by a Serial ATA controller with extensive RAID support, including Synology's proprietary RAID F1 for SSD-optimized data protection. The system accommodates both hard drives and solid-state drives across its twelve bays, allowing for hybrid storage tiering or all-flash configurations.
Connectivity extends beyond the six built-in Ethernet ports through two PCI Express 3.0 x8 slots. These enable the addition of 25Gb/40Gb network adapters, SAS controllers, or NVMe expansion cards. Two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports provide peripheral connectivity for external storage or security dongles.
Key Product Advantages
The RS3621XS+ balances raw capability with operational resilience. Redundant hot-swappable power supplies eliminate single points of failure, while the DiskStation Manager OS provides intuitive management through a web interface. Extensive protocol support—including SMB 3.0, NFSv4, iSCSI, and HTTP/HTTPS—ensures compatibility with Windows, Linux, macOS, and virtualization environments.
Enterprise Processor Platform
The Intel Xeon D-1541 delivers reliable, consistent performance for multi-user file services, virtual machine storage, and database hosting. Its eight cores handle concurrent tasks efficiently while maintaining power efficiency in a 2U form factor.
High-Density Storage Expansion
Twelve drive bays in a 2U chassis provide excellent storage density for rack-constrained environments. Support for both HDDs and SSDs allows tailored performance and capacity balancing across diverse workloads.
Comprehensive Network Flexibility
Six Ethernet ports with 10GbE capability offer substantial network bandwidth and segmentation options. Dual PCIe slots future-proof the system for even higher-speed networking as infrastructure evolves.
Deployment / Use Cases
This RackStation suits environments requiring reliable, scalable storage with enterprise features. Its 2U footprint makes it appropriate for standard 19-inch server racks in data centers, server rooms, or colocation facilities.
Typical applications include backup target storage for Veeam or Commvault, video surveillance recording with Synology Surveillance Station, and document management systems. The expandable architecture allows starting with a partial drive complement and growing capacity as needs increase.
Virtualization Storage Backend
Serve as shared storage for VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, or KVM hypervisors via iSCSI or NFS. The Xeon processor and multiple network ports handle simultaneous VM I/O demands effectively.
Centralized File Repository
Consolidate department or workgroup file shares with granular permissions and versioning. Support for SMB 3.0 enables continuous availability features for Windows clients, while AFP and NFS cover macOS and Linux users.
Localization and Operating System
The Synology RS3621XS+ RackStation ships with DiskStation Manager (DSM), a Linux-based operating system optimized for storage management and network services. DSM provides a web-based graphical interface that supports multiple languages and regional settings, allowing administrators to configure the system in their preferred locale for seamless integration into global IT environments.
This storage system is designed for universal deployment without region-specific hardware limitations. Its extensive protocol support—including CIFS, AFP, NFS, SMB 3.0, and iSCSI—ensures compatibility with diverse client operating systems such as Windows, macOS, and Linux, facilitating cross-platform file sharing and data access in multinational organizations.
The operating system includes built-in tools for localization, such as time zone configuration, language packs, and regional compliance settings for data governance. These features enable the RS3621XS+ to adapt to various regulatory and operational requirements, making it suitable for data centers, branch offices, and cloud-integrated storage solutions worldwide.
DiskStation Manager (DSM) Platform
DSM offers a comprehensive suite of storage management applications, including backup, surveillance, virtualization, and collaboration tools. Its intuitive interface reduces administrative overhead while providing enterprise-grade security features like encryption, access controls, and audit logging for compliance-driven deployments.
Physical Profile
The RS3621XS+ occupies two rack units (2U) with dimensions of 3.46" (88 mm) height, 18.98" (482 mm) width, and 28.50" (724 mm) depth. This compact form factor maximizes storage density while maintaining standard rack compatibility.
Weighing approximately 31.97 lb (14.5 kg), the chassis is constructed for durability in rack environments. The rack-mountable design includes appropriate mounting hardware for secure installation in server cabinets. Front-accessible drive bays facilitate maintenance without removing the unit from the rack.
