NAS Server Synology RackStation RS2423RP+ 12-Bay NAS-Rack

The sizes of storage drives that can be used with the product.

The device uses RAID, which is a storage technology that combines multiple disk drive components into a logical unit for the purposes of data redundancy and performance improvement. Data is distributed across the drives in one of several ways, referred to as RAID levels, depending on the specific level of redundancy and performance required.

The places where drives (hot-swap drives) can be inserted to or removed from the computer.

Storage drives are built into the system.

How many storage drives can be fit into the product at once.

Type of storage drives built into the device e.g. HDD (hard disk drive), SSD (solid-state drive).

The type of storage drives the device is compatible with.

The manufacturer that produced the processor.

A family of processors is a group of processors produced by one company over a short period of time e.g. Intel Pentium processors.

The model number for the processor in a computer.

The speed that the microprocessor executes each instruction or each vibration of the clock. The CPU requires a fixed number of clock ticks, or cycles, to execute each instruction. The faster the clocks rate, the faster the CPU, or the faster it can execute instructions. Clock Speeds are usually determined in MHz, 1 MHz representing 1 million cycles per second, or in GHz, 1 GHz representing 1 thousand million cycles per second. The higher the CPU speed, the better a computer will perform.

The turbo boost is an automatic, managed accelleration of the processor when one of the cores is overloaded.

The number of central processing units (‘cores’) in a processor. Some processors have 1 core, others have 2 (e.g. Intel Core Duo) or more (e.g. the Intel Xeon E7-2850 has 10 cores).

The quantity of processors which can be used by the product.

A computer’s memory which is directly accessible to the CPU.

The type of internal memory such as RAM, GDDR5.

Number and type of memory expansion slots, including connector and memory module descriptions.

Design of the memory e.g. 240-pin DIMM, SO-DIMM.

ECC means Error Correction Code, and it is memory that is able to detect and correct some memory errors without user intervention.

An Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network) interface is present, for a wired conection via a cable.

The different speed levels of the Ethernet LAN connection.

The device features a socket into which a USB cable can be plugged.

Number of Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports (connecting interfaces) in the device. Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports allow a computer to connect to the ethernet.

Slots in the computer for PCI Express x8 (Gen 3.x), which is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard with 8 pins.

The type of rigid framework onto which is the hosuing for device components.

The method used to cool the device or to cool the air around the device.

The colour e.g. red, blue, green, black, white.

The quantity of fans (apparatus with rotating blades that creates a current of air for cooling or ventilation).

The size of the fan, measured by the distance from one side of the fan to the other, via a straight line going through the middle of the fan.
