The newest addition to the XS series includes SSD caching support for improved speeds while still allowing users to take advantage of the storage capacity of mechanical drives. The RS10613xs+ also comes with 8GB ECC RAM (expandable to 32GB) to improve data reliability. To minimize downtime, it supports Synology’s upcoming High Availability package, all the while maximizing uptime by allowing the clustering of RackStations with automatic failover.
