Optimized for Data Protection and Integrity

Powered by Synology DSM, our unified data management operating system with support for the Btrfs file system, data stored on the RS1221+/RS1221RP+ is safely guarded by modern data protection technologies.

• File and folder level data restoration offers users who wish to restore only a specific file or folder more flexibility
• Flexible Shared Folders and user quota system provides comprehensive quota control for all user accounts and shared folders
• File self-healing allows Btrfs file systems to autodetect corrupted files using mirrored metadata and to recover broken data using RAID configurations
