Synology is arguably one of the most popular brands in the entire private server market, and once you then factor in the large number of small and medium-sized businesses migrating away from cloud services and onto their own private NAS, who have been flocking in their droves towards Synology, you can understand why they are something of a big deal. Almost 25 years, the brand has been producing numerous desktop and rackmount NAS solutions (alongside a bunch of other side hustles like routers, storage media, business surveillance tools, and more), but in particular, their growth in the rackmount market in the last 5 to 7 years has been genuinely impressive. Which brings us to the subject of today’s article, where the hell is the Synology RS1224+ RackStation NAS? There has been an undeniable shift in the home lab and small business community away from desktop NAS devices and towards small-scale rackmount solutions, and Synology’s recent releases have certainly capitalized on this, thanks to improved smaller-scale four and eight-bay rackmount servers appearing in their product portfolio.
This combined with changes in the baseline hardware of several of their more recent releases have led to many users looking for a very specific kind of Synology rackmount! It has to be compact, it has to be powerful, it has to be scalable, and it has to be reasonably priced – currently, Synology only provides one solution that fits the bill in every regard, the 2020/2021 released RS1221+, which, despite its merits, is still a system that is almost 3 years old, leading many to question the benefits of investing in a system that is perhaps not as cutting edge as the rest of Synology’s portfolio currently stands. The answer, of course? A refresh (something Synology tends to do with their portfolio every two to three years), which would be the Synology RS1224+. Today we want to discuss everything we know, confirm this unit is coming, the expectations we have, and whether it’s worth waiting for it.
Is the Synology RS1224+ NAS coming? Well, yes! As early as autumn 2023, we saw numerous references to the RS1224+ model ID floating around in the backend of firmware updates and accidentally left in product compatibility pages on official Synology sites. Equally, there was even a Synology RS1223+ model ID appearing in summer 2023, perhaps indicating that this system was designed to arrive earlier than it has. In more recent weeks, users have taken to digging into the latest Synology DSM firmware updates and finding further references towards the existence of a Synology RS1221 (along with a couple of powerhouse expandable rack mounts, and a series of expansion boxes).
None of this is unusual, and for those willing to put in the extra time, you can often find model IDs of upcoming devices if you know where to look. The crucial detail is that clearly a half-depth eight-bay rack mount is indeed on the way from Synology and given its formative mentions in summer 2023, and continued references in 2024, it would indicate that this is a system that Synology has already well featured on their roadmap and factored into their product portfolio.
If you want to play devil’s advocate, one might argue that this product is only a placeholder, a spreadsheet template item, or a hypothetical product that Synology just wants to enter in order to maintain its position in their database. Although that’s not impossible, realistically, there are simply too many references available at this point to deny that Synology is clearly rolling out a product of this hardware and model configuration. Equally, off-the-record discussions with Synology representatives further bolster this point. Ultimately, I think it’s undeniable that Synology is going to continue this product series, but that leads us to the next question: why are users so enamored with the release of the RS1224+?
As I mentioned earlier, there has been a trend shift away from desktop devices for certain kinds of users. Home enthusiasts often find it considerably more convenient to purchase a small or even medium-sized rack cabinet to be kept somewhere on their property, which can be considerably more efficient for applying numerous rackmount servers than the alternative of utilizing desktop space filled with tower chassis devices. Equally, most businesses do not want to run their main backup or operation server in the same offices they work in and either wish to utilize a separate storage area on the premises or even a small area of physical storage off-site for network and remote personal cloud storage. Much like home lab users who do this for fun, business users can often see tremendous benefits in more modular and compact multi-rackmount devices compared with that of desktop.
However, this reasoning was also largely born out of the fact that right now devices and their physical scale have changed dramatically over the last few years. If you go back even as little as a decade ago, a rackmount device was considerably bigger in depth, much less power-efficient, considerably noisier, and was just generally a much more enterprise and industrial proposition. Thanks to growing efficiencies in server components, smaller but effective cooling systems being developed, and larger storage media allowing systems to occupy fewer storage bays for higher capacity, rackmount devices no longer need to be the big hulking metal monsters they once were, and these days you can pick up four and eight-bay rackmount servers quite easily and affordably. All of this has added up to why users would not only be positively in favor of the release of a new compact, but powerful rackmount NAS system, and why a system like the RS1224+ would be equally popular.
Synology has released several half-depth 30 cm rackmounts (and 40 cm dual power supply rackmounts) in the last few years, a great example being the Synology RS422+, a small, affordable rackmount that provides a decent base level of hardware but does lack the expandability of other devices in their portfolio. Equally, at the start of 2023, Synology rolled out several new medium and large business rackmount devices that provided tremendous power and scalability – but these systems were considerably larger, much more power-hungry, and several times more expensive than the older RS1221+. The perfect middle ground here is the Synology RS1224+, hence why users are sitting quite comfortably on the fence about every other device until they know whether this system is truly arriving and, when it does, what exactly its hardware caliber will be. Let’s discuss what we predict and what we comfortably know about the Synology RS1224+ hardware.
As I mentioned earlier, the Synology RS1224+ would not be a completely new and unique product series by the brand but would be a refresh of the existing compact eight-drive rackmount series that the brand has been working on now for more than 5 years. Alongside maintaining a clearly defined portfolio across the whole range of desktop and rackmount devices that they provide, Synology also takes special care to make sure there is not too much overlap when it comes to all of their solutions. Typically when you look at the Synology portfolio, you find that solutions tend to be between $50 and $100 difference in price, and each solution takes that extra bit of investment and puts it into internal performance, total storage, or network connectivity. That also means that products in the Synology portfolio have a tendency to use a small group of CPU and memory combinations and then spread them across a variety of different storage scale devices. This all adds up to us being fairly confident in predicting the internal hardware that the RS1224+ arrives with.
The previous generation arrived with an AMD V1500B quad-core x86 CPU, but Synology has slowly started refreshing all devices with this CPU from the 2019 and 2020 generation towards the new AMD embedded Ryzen V1780B processor. Alongside a higher base clock speed, this is also a more capable CPU, though it does still arrive in the same V1000 product family from AMD. The Synology RS1224+ will definitely arrive with this CPU, as the company has already started rolling it out in their Plus series rackmount, as well as the system definitely arriving with ECC memory. ECC memory has been provided with every single Plus series rackmount that Synology has rolled out in the last 5 years and the RS1224+ will be no exception to this. However, it is still yet to be seen whether the system will arrive with 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB, as Synology has been scaling up the base level of default memory on their systems in the most recent generation refreshes. The rest of the system architecture is fairly easy to predict, with the exception of the network connectivity (more on that in a moment), but below is the expected specifications of the Synology RS1224+ RackStation:
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Model | Synology RS1224+ NAS |
| Price | $(TBC)* |
| Form Factor | Half-depth / 2U RackStation |
| CPU | AMD Ryzen Embedded V1780B* |
| CPU Details | 4-Core/8-Thread, 3.35GHz |
| Memory | 8-32GB DDR4 UDIMM ECC |
| Storage Bays | 8x SATA 3.5″/2.5″ (Add 4x More drives with the RX Expansion) |
| Networking | 1x 10GbE Copper (10GBASE-T)* |
| Expansion Slots | 1x PCIe Gen 3×8 |
| LAN Ports | 2x / 4x RJ45 1GbE LAN* |
| Expansion Port | 1x eSATA |
| USB Ports | 2x USB 3.2 GEN 1 (5Gb/s) |
| Dimensions | 88 mm x 482 mm x 306.6 mm |
| Dimensions (RP Version) | 88 mm x 482 mm x 407.5 mm |
| Warranty | 3-Year Warranty (5yr Opt) |
| Additional Notes | *massively TBC!!! |
There is, however, one area of ambiguity that is still present in the specifications of the Synology RS1224+, the default network connectivity! The system will definitely arrive with at least a couple of 1GbE network ports and will definitely provide a PCIe 3 x8 slot in order to upgrade network connectivity and add combo cards later in the system’s life if needed.
However, what about 10GbE? At the tail end of 2023, Synology saw the release of the Synology RS2423+, a similarly hardware-designed Plus series RackStation solution, that was fully expected to arrive with gigabit networking only. However, when it arrived, Synology provided a 10GBase-T networking port by default (not via a PCIe upgrade, but as standard). Now, this is a 12x HDD system, so there is more than enough media to fully saturate a 10GbE network connection. However, this did not stop Synology in the previous four generations of that RackStation product series from only providing 1GbE by default, so why the change now?
Synology has faced growing criticism from prosumers and small business users for their rather restricted default network connections, limiting the majority of solutions to either 1GbE in their standard class and 10GbE in the power user and enterprise models. Many users have raised questions about Synology perhaps utilizing 2.5 gigabit Ethernet network connections, as used by a majority of their competitors. Others would state that 2.5GbE is something of a technological fad, and 10GbE is the only natural path to go down, so that does bring into question allocating lanes internally to this network bandwidth. The reason I bring the whole thing up is simply that if Synology changed its position on 10GbE on the 12-bay RackStation, it is totally believable to think that they would do so on the Synology RS1224+. Plus, as this is still an eight-bay system and that too could fully saturate a 10GbE even with hard drives, not just SSD. This is still a lingering question on this system and one that we probably won’t know the answer to until launch, but nevertheless, I think there is enough evidence here for us to wonder if Synology will do the right thing and roll this system out the gate with 10G.
Given that the model ID of the RS1224+ and RS1224rp+ both arrive with the ’24’ suffix, that typically means that Synology will roll this system out in the first 6 months of 2024. That is still quite a wide and broad remit for a release date, but typically Synology tends to roll out business and enterprise-grade solutions in the first quarter of the year (based on previous experience and other releases we have observed). Nevertheless, at the time of writing in February 2024, we are making our way into the halfway point of the first quarter of 2024, so Synology would be cutting it quite fine, and we have yet to even see provisional leaks of this system via the usual supply chain and compatibility listings to the degree that we normally would prior to a launch. With regards to pricing, that is one area where Synology tends to be thankfully incredibly consistent, and you can fully expect the RS1224+ to match the $999 to $1199 price tag of its predecessor. Stay tuned to NAS Compares as we keep an eye out for this system and discuss whether it deserves your data.

Le collectif de cybercriminels Lockbit a affiché un message sur le site de ses victimes pour créer la panique. Ces cybercriminels réutilisent une technique mobilisée depuis longtemps par les pirates.
Le site des hackers russophones de Lockbit a été mis hors-ligne par les forces de l'ordre de plusieurs pays, dont la Gendarmerie nationale. Ces pirates sont responsables de plusieurs cyberattaques, dont celles contre l'hôpital de Corbeil-Essonnes, la Poste Mobile et le département du Loiret.
Nous ne sommes qu'au mois de février, et pourtant, il pourrait déjà s'agir du coup de l'année sur la scène de la cybersécurité ! Les autorités sont parvenues à mettre hors ligne le site de LockBit, qui est probablement le gang de cybercriminels le plus actif depuis plusieurs années. Faisons le point sur cette intervention !
Depuis le 19 février 2024, le site du gang de ransomware LockBit a été mis hors ligne ! Il était utilisé par les pirates comme vitrine puisqu'il servait à publier les noms des victimes, mais également les montants des rançons et les données volées dans le cadre des attaques.
Désormais, le site de LockBit ressemble à ceci :
La National Crime Agency du Royaume-Uni s'est exprimée sur le sujet : "La NCA peut confirmer que les services de LockBit ont été interrompus à la suite d'une action internationale. Il s'agit d'une opération en cours et en développement."
En effet, les forces de l'ordre et organismes de 11 pays sont à l'origine de cette opération, nommée officiellement l'opération Cronos et menée à l'internationale. En effet, la France a participé par l'intermédiaire de la Gendarmerie Nationale, mais elle n'était pas seule puisque le FBI était aussi de la partie, accompagné par l'Allemagne, le Japon, la Suède, le Canada, ou encore la Suisse.
D'après le membre LockBitSupp, qui serait à la tête de LockBit et qui s'est exprimé par l'intermédiaire du service de messagerie Tox, le FBI est parvenu à accéder aux serveurs de LockBit à l'aide d'un exploit PHP. Les forces de l'ordre sont également parvenues à mettre hors ligne l'interface dédiée aux affiliés de LockBit. Un message indique que le code source de LockBit a pu être saisi (celui du ransomware ?), ainsi que des conversations et des informations sur les victimes.
Pour rappel, le gang de ransomware LockBit est à l'origine de plusieurs grandes cyberattaques, y compris en France :
Reste à savoir quel sera l'impact réel de cette opération sur les activités malveillantes menées par le gang de cybercriminels LockBit. N'oublions pas que LockBit est une véritable organisation criminelle, très bien organisée, avec des processus clairs, etc...
Les autorités devraient s'exprimer prochainement sur le sujet. Nous pouvons les féliciter pour cet excellent travail effectué dans la lutte contre le cybercrime !
The post Ransomware : une opération internationale met à l’arrêt les serveurs de LockBit ! first appeared on IT-Connect.
L'énorme coup réalisé par les forces de l'ordre dans le cadre de l'opération Cronos se confirme : les clés de déchiffrement pour le ransomware LockBit sont entre les mains des autorités, ce qui va permettre de déchiffrer les données gratuitement !
L'opération Cronos est véritablement un coup d'arrêt pour le gang de cybercriminels LockBit. Au-delà d'être parvenu à arrêter les serveurs associés au site vitrine des malfaiteurs, les autorités sont parvenues à récupérer le code source du ransomware LockBit. Cette information a été confirmée par la National Crime Agency (NCA) du Royaume-Uni.
Comme on pouvait s'y attendre, d'autres détails sur cette intervention commencent à être diffusés. Tout d'abord, il faut savoir que les autorités ont pu arrêter 2 membres de LockBit en Pologne et en Ukraine. À cela s'ajoutent le gel de 200 comptes de crypto-monnaie liés au groupe de cybercriminels.
Les autorités ont pu arrêter 34 serveurs utilisés par le gang de ransomware LockBit, sur lesquels ils sont parvenus à obtenir plus de 1 000 clés de déchiffrement ! Il s'agit d'une information capitale ! En effet, les autorités sont parvenues à créer un outil de déchiffrement pour LockBit 3.0 !
Le rapport mis en ligne par Europol précise : "Avec le soutien d'Europol, la police japonaise, la National Crime Agency et le Federal Bureau of Investigation ont concentré leur expertise technique pour développer des outils de déchiffrement destinés à récupérer les fichiers chiffrés par le ransomware LockBit".
Cet outil de déchiffrement pour LockBit 3.0 est disponible sur le site "No More Ransom" ! Il doit permettre la récupération des données chiffrées par le ransomware LockBit 3.0 sans avoir à payer la rançon ! D'après un rapport d'Eurojust : "Les attaques de LockBit auraient touché plus de 2 500 victimes dans le monde entier."
Un énorme bravo aux forces de l'ordre !
