Choose the RS818+ if you need substantially more performance: it has a quad-core Intel C3538 CPU, up to 32GB RAM, and supports a 10GbE NIC, versus the RS816’s Annapurna Labs quad-core CPU, 2GB maximum RAM, and 1GbE. Both are four-bay units with no M.2 SSD slots; the RS818+ adds expansion via a DX517 for up to nine drives, while the RS816 does not.
