With RAM twice the size of its predecessor, Synology RS814+/RS814RP+ provides 

high multi-tasking performance that your data-intensive applications demand 

for a storage system. Features two USB 3.0 ports, RS814+/RS814RP+ efficiently 

saves the time needed for external data storage.

In addition to superior performance, RS814+/RS814RP+ is built for reliability. Four
