Synology RS2423+ and RS2423RP+ 10GbE NAS Rackmount Revealed
To say that Synology has been active in the first quarter of 2023 would be a fantastic understatement. In just two short months, they have formally and informally revealed a series of hardware solutions, beta software updates and are now beginning the rollout of their SMB/large-scale solutions. Last week was the release of the DS1823xs+, but possibly more interesting is the RS2423+ – a new 12-Bay Rackstation server that has taken the existing formula of this product series and scaled it up in some surprising ways. For a brand that occasionally gets criticism for being a little bland in it’s hardware choices, the Synology RS2423+ (also RS2423RP+ Redundant PSU version) scales up on it’s DS2421+ predecessor with a noticeably more powerful CPU, twice the memory and a significant increase in base level bandwidth. Indeed, this 12 bay rackmount seemingly matches the recent XS series release, but manages to still remain in the PLUS series. Let’s discuss this new and interesting rackmount NAS and ponder whether this is a turning point in the hardware on offer in the SMB Synology Rackstation tier of their portfolio.
Synology RS2423+ NAS Rackmount Hardware Specifications
The bulk of the physical design of the RS2423+ Rackstation remains the same as the bulk of 12-Bay Rackmounts in Synology’s portfolio. There are the usual 12 SATA slots (all lockable), 2U height with optional handles, half a metre depth and a reliance on LED indicators rather than an LCD screen etc. There isn’t any M.2 NVMe SSD slots (quite rare on Synology Rackstations) but there is the option to them via a PCIe upgrade and as the system is a PLUS series device there is the inclusion of Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) alongside the usual RAID options. But the real question for many is whether this is a suitable upgrade for existing Synology Rackstation users who might well be running an older-gen RS1219+ or RS2418+? Here are the initial specifications:
 |
|
| Model ID | Synology RS2423+ / RS2423RP+ Rackstation |
| Rack Height | 2U |
| Size | RS2423+: = 88 x 482 x 552.
RS2423RP+ = 88 x 482 x 578 (with server handles) |
| # of Bay | 12x SATA Bays for 3.5″ and 2.5″ Media |
| Cooling | PSU Fan(s) and 3x 60x60cm Internal Fans (removable) |
| File System | EXT4 or BTRFS |
| RAID Support | RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and Synology Hybrid RAID |
| Expandable | Yes, x1 RX1223 12-Bay |
| CPU Model | AMD Embedded Ryzen V1780B |
| CPU Power and Cores | Quad Core / Eight Thread 3.35Ghz Processor |
| Default Memory | 8GB UDIMM DDR4 ECC |
| Memory Expandability? | Yes, to 32GB |
| NVMe SSD Bays? | No |
| PCIe Upgrade? | Yes, PCIe Gen 3. Network Upgrades and/or M.2 NVMe SSD Cache Card Upgrades |
| PSU | 350W or 2x 250W (RP Version) |
| Warranty | 3 Years |
Let’s discuss that CPU and Memory. The Synology RS2423+ NAS arrives with an AMD Embedded Ryzen V1780B, a quad-core (8 thread) x86 CPU that has a 3.35Ghz clock speed. Alongside this, the RS2423+ NAS also arrives with 8GB of ECC SODIMM DDR4 Memory that can be upgraded to 32GB over two slots, using Synology branded memory. Synology has been increasing the range of solutions in its portfolio that support ECC memory and as this is rackstation NAS, it was largely inevitable that it would have this high-data-integrity long-term protecting memory in place! Both the clock speed of this processor and the inclusion of twice the standard memory featured in the previous generations of this series are going to be appealing to many users. That 8GB memory MIGHT be down to increasing shortages in available memory at the production level (affecting many brands and changing the base level of quite a large number of releases in the last 6-12months) and therefore it might have just been simpler to include 8GB by default and increase the base price a few % OR swallow the loss a little as 8GB DDR4 (even ECC) is typically still going to be the same module allocation on a RAM PCB, but twice the quantity of MB/GB per cell.
The 8GB will certainly be a welcome increase, given the potentially high storage capabilities + the cost of Synology’s official Memory right now vs 3rd party and/or non-ECC memory by comparison (which is not officially supported) for many users. Moving over to the CPU, Synology have once again opted for this rackstation solution to feature an AMD-embedded Ryzen processor (now the 2nd gen of solutions by the brand to make the switch from Intel to AMD). If you look at how it compares below with the current V1500B embedded Ryzen in the RS2421+, it largely improves upon it (whilst still remaining in the ZEN CPU family and allowing Synology to maintain the existing hardware construction on the board/installation). Once again, the fact that this exact same processor appeared in the DS1823xs+ Enterprise series last week is also (frankly) an absolute BONUS in my eyes! Aside from the 4 cores and 8 threads up for allocation in VMs, its also more than 1Ghz higher in clock speed (without even mentioning burst/boost) per core than the V1500B that the brand has used on around 10 of their systems in the last two years. This means that those looking to take advantage of fast internal AND external throughout will see some great gains to be made here. See below:

All this said, there is no avoiding that in order for the V1780B CPU in the RS2423+ NAS to be as high performance in ability as it is, results in a noted increase in TDP (i.e how this translates into typical CPU power use) compared to the older gen NAS using the AMD V1500B. In most conventional computer use, the impact of this is generally relative to ‘you use it, fine, you switch it off, no hassle’. But in the case of a high-performance, 24×7 NAS solution, a higher TDP will likely mean higher power use/bills in the long run. This is all going to be relative to the amount you use it and the weight of those processes – but given this device’s status as a 12x SATA, expandable, 10GbE and 1xPCIe Upgradable system – it is largely tailored towards 24×7 heavier use!
Synology RS2423+ NAS – Ports and Connections
The ports and connections of the RS2423+ NAS have really only seen one change over it’s predecessor, and that is in the area of network connectivity. The system still arrives in a 1 PSU or Redundant (2 PSU) version as needed, it still has the USB ports that are arguably diminishing in their utility on this platform, a COMs port (no OoB support gigabit port), a miniSAS expansion port for the RX1223RP and a PCIe upgrade slot. However, i think we need to focus on that main change in network connectivity here:
 |
|
| 10GbE Ports | x1 10GBASE-T |
| 1GbE Ports | x2 1GbE RJ45 |
| Expansion Ports | 1x miniSAS (for 1x 12-Bay RX1223RP) |
| COMS Port | x1 |
| USB Ports | x2 USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gb/s) |
So, alongside that CPU improvement and double memory, there is another upgrade in the RS2421+ > RS2423+ refresh that we need to talk about, which is the RS2423+ arrives with a default 10GbE network connection – possibly the FIRST TIME I have sever seen a Synology PLUS series device to arrive with a 10GbE port by default. Now, there are alot of long time rackmount users that will be thinking ‘wait… who WOULDN’T have 10GbE on a 12xSATA rackmount???’, and you would be right to wonder that. 12x SATA (even bog standard HDDs at 160-200MB/s) are going to EASILY saturate a 1,000MB/s connection with change! However, Synology have always stated that in order to make their complete hardware+software systems more accessible/affordable, that some system options are made optional (i.e, via that PCIe upgrade slot – with 1/2x 10GbE and 25GbE options available, as well as cache cards and combo cards). So, MOST users kind of expected this system to be another standard 1GbE system like the 30-40 that came before it in the Rackstation series. So, I was as surprised as anyone else that the RS2423+/RS2423RP+ is 10GbE right out the box AND as its a main port, it leaves the PCIe upgrade slot for even more network connection options down the line.
Overall, the default ports and connections of the Synology RS2423+ NAS leave me quite impressed, especially when you compare it with the last few generations of this rackstation series. Let’s briefly discuss the DSM 7.1/7.2 (beta just around the corner) Support that this system will feature.
Synology RS2423+ NAS DSM Software and Services Support
Needless to say, the Synology RS2423+ NAS will support the bulk of DSM applications, features and services. Longtime followers of Synology (and NASCompres) will be familiar with the huge range of first-party applications and features of DSM, but for those less familiar, here are some highlights:

Synology RS2423+ NAS Rackstation Release Date and Price
To be frank, there is ALOT to like about this new Synology RS2423+ Rackstation. Alot of users have been hitting at Synology for its slightly lacklustre approach to hardware in recent years, providing genuinely ground breaking hardware only to the Enterprise tier. The RS2423+ could have so easily been a cookie-cutter refresh of the RS2421+… New CPU… close the box, ship it! The RS2423+’s CPU is a genuinely beefy upgrade on the V1500B (despite being in the same V1000 series), the default 8GB of memory (for whatever the reason/motivation by the brand) is going to be extremely welcomed by rackmount users and the inclusion of day one 10GbE somewhat silences discussion here of a lock of 2.5GbE. Back in my days of retail/service in storage, a decent % of rackmount buyers (easily half, but likely more) would pursue a day 1 increase of the network connectivity and/or memory – something that is inclusive here. It may seem slightly that we are giving Synology credit for ‘common sense’, but you have to also factor in the value of DSM and the work that has/will go into it. Overall, this might be one of the most interesting rackstation NAS systems that I have ever seen Synology roll out. I will be watching the RS2423+/RS2423RP+ with great interest!

Great thorough review as always! I’m trying to decide between this or the DS1823xs+, one concern I have is the noise level. The specs sheet says the RS2423+ is 52.3 dB compared to DS1823xs+ is 23.6 dB. Granted, it is a 12 bay compared to 8 bay but that’s twice as loud. I’m curious to see how loud this machine really is, I know the rack-mounted NAS systems are louder in general, catered more towards enterprise-level network centers however, this system seems to be designed more towards the prosumer so I was wondering if it would be tolerable to have it stored in a rack cabinet by my desk.

NAS newbie here. Wondering if I should be looking for a SSD based NAS instead of HDD. Im told that SSD has better reliability in addition to smaller size. Do you know of any 8-bay SSD based NAS systems? Looking for something with 10GBE and ability hold files from both Windows and Linux without conversion/corruption from one to the other. Looking for approx 50TB size and the ability to have VM storage on the NAS. Also, is there a wake-on-lan option for any of these so then don’t have to be manually powered on/off?
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I like it, but I’m not sure yet. The DS1823xs+ has a 5 year warranty and M.2 slots. I’d have to buy a card and an extended warranty to get the same from the RS2423+. That takes them from being equally priced to about $600USD different. I plan on running it for 10 years. It’d be nice to have it covered for half that time. I’ve got a 9 year old DS414 to replace that’s still working great. Either one will work fine for what I need, but I’m still going to wait and see what RS##23xs comes out. If I’m going to spend more than the DS1823xs+, I’d like to feel it’s worth it. Even though the DS1823xs+ wastes rack space, I should probably just get that one.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I wonder when RS1223+ will be updated and listed
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Getting a little impatient on waiting for the DS1823+ and don’t want to pull trigger at a DS1821+ at the last minute, so I was just looking at the new DS1823xs+… but now it seems like the RS2423+ might be a much better value at this price point at least for me. The $200 difference with additional 4 bays plus SHR support makes this seem like a no brainer

Locking you in to having to buy Synology drives in their higher end rack units is a deal breaker. Compatibility list on these rack units is also severely limited. I was unable to use a Samsung 980 Pro NVME in their PCI card (in Synology RS3618xs) which by the way only allows NVME drive as cache. No thanks. Way too restricted. The Synology drives are also more than twice the price of Seagate Iron Wolf Pro drives. Although QNAP has better hardware options, their system is very susceptible to ransomware. I am now moving on to TrueNas.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
So Synology launches an 8 bay Desktop model in the XS series last week (where a lot of people were waiting to upgrade their DS1815+/1817+/1819+/1821+) and now they release a Rackmount model in the Plus series to support SHR and hopefully a broad HDD choice. Come on Synology, please release the 1823+ already.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Im not really impressed with this unit. Hardware not all that great, imo. 10g is nice but the cpu and all the crap with only using synologys own drive is meh hat best. The further you go up the price stack the less of a value add is the provided software. Personally, if I would consider a 2000 or 3000€$£ storage only device, the jump to a proper enterprise server isn’t that far.

Any help would be really appreciated ????
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
From a Rackmount perspective I would prefer a SFP+ slot, even better two SFP+ slots if I need to use two switches for redundancy and you might not want to run with CAT6a 10GE in the datacenter but instead use a DAC cable or fiber. We are not getting the offer for that here. Sure we can add an additional card but then you can’t run an SSD-cache.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I use Synology is only because it has SHR tech. I wish Qnap has SHR too. Because Qnap hardware is better and more value for the money.

Given the price of Synology-branded SSDs and HDDs they could have easily thrown-in this 12-bay NAS for free. When you are charging £1.1k per 3.8TB SATA SSD the price of the NAS would be lost in the noise!

One thing I wish sonology would do especially further backup program is allow you to back up to a networked windows pool drive aka the NAS sync with networked multipooled Windows drive giving you to a form of backup even if you cannot see the data on the Windows pool that be fine if it was just an encrypted image or better yet allow the damn system to read Windows pool drives…. You’re plugging a USB hub with all your USB drives the nas makes its own virtual pool out of those drives and then it backs up just in case there’s nobody has a single 60 terabyte drive …. The fact that most people are coming from multiple hard drives externally to Nas and can’t use those multiple drives as a single pool backup is annoying especially when there’s hard drive crashes or or anything like that at least you’d have a personal backup I didn’t even pay 10-15 dollars per drive one time fee to make a pool for image backup
I literally had to Jerry rig using always-sync to back up the entire NAS drive on a 9 hard drive pool on the Windows side
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Insert the biggest thing I hate about Synology outside of their “hard drive requirements” (if the damn hard drive says Nas supported then it should just work you shouldn’t need a specific hard drive) is them telling you where to put your media or files for specific programs they own you should be able to tell the programs just like in Plex where the files are where you wanting to put the files and have one way think as an option with no deletion
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I personally find it difficult still for a novice user especially for making user accounts … Aka having public and private folders for individuals in a group setting (you can’t have both) we’re in the group setting everyone has the rules AKA right and no delete for public folder and the ability for only individual users in that group to only see their private folder and not everyone else’s
Aka private “Jon” public “all” private “Sarah”
John can still see Sarah’s folder
Because I haven’t nested in an outside folder public and an outside folder private where all their names are in the private folder so it’s nice and organized
But everyone can still see everyone’s folder I’d love to have it so that you can easily isolate nested folders

One application they should make is a network photo slideshow screen saver picture frame app with dslp and outside network

The one and only thing I don’t like about Synology multimedia apps or drive apps…. Is they TELL you where to put your media AND GENERALLY HAVE TWO-WAY SINK AS DEFAULT
Most users are going to have a plexa library that they’ve probably customized and should customize in one bulk “media folder” and then break it down within…. If you do stuff like that for all your multimedia they’re native apps don’t work you have to have it where they want it…. Same with sync you have to have it where they want it and it’s only sync … Me personally I want one-way sink data goes on the NAS … You can delete it off the phone or computer and that won’t transfer over…. They have improved the drive application but I still have to improve video photo and the other ones to be one way and for us to control the locations multiple or single nested location I don’t want to be told or you got to have it in the ” home /user /names/ photo/ to have the photo application work
NO I want to have it in plex media / photos/ cell phone 01/

why do I need raid 1 on the ssd cache? It doesn’t matter if the data is gone on the cache if one ssd fails. The data is stored on the HDD after a Data is altered in the read/write cache. or is written again from the HDD when a new SSD is added. So that makes no sense. Raid 0 would be better in this case.

Jellyfin?!!! Most channels that review media server software, either only deep-dive their preferred offering, or only give an overview compression of the field. If someone like you, who can give the same enthusiasm creating two videos deep-diving two NASs that only differ by a drive bay, puts that into a spin-off series on a topic that is close to a large chunk of your demographic, that would be a real treat.

Why only 360p is showing ????

Would it be too much to expect something similar for QTS?

*Note* – Regarding picture quality, this is a BIG video (so many features to cover in a single video) and YouTue can sometimes be a little slow to process HD and 4K uploads, so if this video is in low-quality for you, maybe come back in an hour or so, as YouTube should have finished processing it and have the 4K, 1080p and 720p versions done. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the review of Synology DSM 7.1, featuring the DS923+ NAS.

I thought you were going to recommended four (4) different 10GbE NAS RAID units that were capable of providing the 1000Mb throughput?

Fiber cable is actually competitive with copper. I will normally install fiber if needs exceed CAT6. ALL cabling between buildings is always fiber. The cost is the termination of the fiber. But depending on the spec needed there are now field-installed connectors around $20 each (4 per average “cable”).
If you are doing it in a home pre-terminated multi-mode cable is very affordable but has installation code limites.
