RS6426xs+ product photo

Status: Currently sold

An enterprise 3U rackmount NAS launched in May 2026 for petabyte-scale storage, virtualization and heavy backup jobs. The 8-core Xeon D-1739 and 16 GB of ECC memory, expandable to 96 GB, give it real muscle, and you can grow from 16 to 64 bays with four expansion units. This is data-center gear, not a small-office box.
