The RS3617xs+ is a 12-bay rack-mount NAS from Synology aimed at small and mid-size businesses that need fast shared storage. It runs on an Intel Xeon D-1531 six-core CPU with ECC memory and four built-in Gigabit ports, and it has two PCIe slots for 10GbE or other add-in cards. It is a bare enclosure: drives are not included, and the DSM software covers file sharing, snapshots, backup and virtualization storage. Against newer Synology rack units it is older hardware, so buyers weigh its PCIe flexibility and drive count against the faster CPUs and native 10GbE of later models.
