FAQs

Can the RX1225RP be used as a standalone NAS?

No, the Synology RX1225RP is an expansion unit and requires a compatible Synology NAS to function. It does not have its own operating system or network connectivity for standalone use.

What type of drives does the RX1225RP support?

The RX1225RP supports 3.5-inch SAS and SATA hard drives. Always refer to the Synology compatibility list for recommended and tested drive models.

How do I connect the RX1225RP to my Synology NAS?

You connect the RX1225RP to a compatible Synology NAS using a SAS cable. The specific port and cable type will be indicated in your NAS and expansion unit's documentation.

What is the maximum storage capacity of the RX1225RP?

The maximum capacity depends on the size of the individual hard drives installed in its 12 bays. You can calculate the total capacity by multiplying the number of bays (12) by the capacity of the largest supported drive.

Does the RX1225RP support RAID configurations?

The RAID configuration is managed by the Synology NAS to which the RX1225RP is connected. The RX1225RP itself provides the physical drives; the NAS handles the RAID setup and management.

What is the warranty period for the RX1225RP?

Warranty information can vary by region and reseller. Please refer to the product packaging or the Synology website for the most accurate warranty details for your purchase.

Troubleshooting

RX1225RP not detected by NAS

Verify the SAS cable connection is secure on both the RX1225RP and the NAS. Ensure the RX1225RP is powered on. Confirm that your NAS model is listed as compatible with the RX1225RP on Synology's official website. Restart both the NAS and the expansion unit.

Drives not recognized after installation

Ensure drives are correctly seated in their bays. Check drive compatibility with the Synology NAS. Attempt to format the drives individually via the NAS interface if they are new or were previously used in a different system. Ensure drives are powered on and detected by the RX1225RP's internal controller.

System errors or instability related to storage

Check the health status of all installed drives through the Synology DSM. Ensure the firmware for both the NAS and the RX1225RP (if applicable) is up to date. Consider running a drive diagnostic test from the NAS interface. If using non-Synology approved drives, verify their compatibility.
