This will be a post for all the new and upcoming models that I will update with data sheets and specs. Considering that Synology is pushing a lot of new models, I felt it would be more clean to separate these type of info into a separate article then to keep them inside a dedicated DS1621xs+ article.

Info on DS1621+ and DS1621xs+ will remain in a dedicated article here, as well as the x20 model lineup here.

DS1821+

Tech spec document: https://ln.blackvoid.club/ds12821plus

Just like the new DS1621+, looks like we are getting another AMD Ryzen V1500B based NAS but this time and 8bay upgrade to the familiar DS1819+. This might very well be the last model we will see before the end of the year

Some hardware specifications about the upcoming model:

AMD Ryzen V1500B
2.2Ghz 64-bit x86 Architecture
Embedded Ryzen SoC Design
4GB DDR4 ECC SODIMM Memory (Max 32GB)
8 SATA Media Bays (supporting 3.5” and 2.5″ drives)
2x M.2 NVMe Slots for cache (supporting up to 2280 NVMe)
4x 1Gbe RJ45
PCIe Gen 3 x8 Slot for Expansion Cards
2x eSATA ports to connect 2x DX517
4x USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps, 1 at the front, 3 at the back)

In case you want 10G, you can add a card

Reason why this model is called 1821, a total of 10 more bays can be added

RS1221+/RS1221RP+

Tech spec document: https://ln.blackvoid.club/rs1221plus

New 8bay half size rack size model that will probably come out in January of 2021. Both unit are 298mm (RS1221+) and 399mm (RS1221RP+) in depth, so they will be a perfect fit for a small rack enclouser.

These models have also adapted the new AMD V1500B CPU, the same one present in 1821+ as well as in 1621+, so at the moment we have 4 NAS units (all from "+" segment) running with the new CPU architecture.

Units are 10G ready via PCIe SFP+ and they provide 4x1G lan ports on the back as well. In case you want cache support you can also use the PCIe expansion by installing M2D20 or E10M20-T1 adapter cards to get 10G and NVMe support as well.

General specifications are:

AMD Ryzen V1500B
4-core 2.2 GHz
Hardware Encryption Engine (AES-NI) YES
4GB DDR4 ECC SODIMM
Maximum Memory Capacity 32 GB (16 GB x 2)
Maximum Drive Bays with Expansion Unit 12 (RX418 x 1)
Hot Swappable Drive YES
RJ-45 1GbE LAN Port 4 (with Link Aggregation / Failover support)
USB 3.2 Gen1 Port x2
eSATA Port x1 (for expansion)

8 Fans
9 PCIe Expansion Slot
10 Reset Button
11 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Ports
12 1GbE RJ-45 Ports
13 Expansion Port
14 Console Port
15 Power Port(s)
16 PSU Indicator & Alert Off Buttons
