The Synology Expansion Unit RX418 is a hardware device designed to expand the storage capacity of a compatible Synology RackStation. It functions as an external storage enclosure, allowing users to add more hard drives to their existing Synology NAS setup, thereby increasing the total available storage space. This unit is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with Synology RackStations, providing a straightforward way to manage and expand storage volumes.
The primary function of the RX418 is to provide additional drive bays for a Synology RackStation. It connects to the main RackStation unit via an eSATA port, acting as a direct extension of the host device's storage capabilities. Once connected, the drives installed in the RX418 can be managed through the DiskStation Manager (DSM) interface of the linked RackStation. This allows for the creation of new storage volumes, expansion of existing RAID groups, and overall management of the expanded storage pool. The unit supports both 3.5" and 2.5" SATA drives, offering flexibility in drive selection. It is designed to power on and off automatically in synchronization with the connected RackStation, simplifying operation.
