bandwidth expansion cable that ensures maximum throughput. It allows the drives

in the connected RX1217/RX1217RP to operate as they are the internal ones of the

Synology RackStation, with no lag in data retrieval. To ensures 24/7 service uptime,

Synology RX1217RP is equipped with redundant power supply units, allowing

automatic fail-over support if one of the PSUs is failed.

has been inactive for a period of time. This not only saves energy but also extends

the lifespan of the drives. RX1217/RX1217RP also powers on/off with the attached
