Test Environment for Synology Applications
- Synology Drive and Synology Office:
- Models with expandable memory are tested with the maximum supported quantity installed.
- Models with SSD support are tested with a single SSD volume.
- Synology MailPlus:
- Models with expandable memory are tested with the maximum supported quantity installed. Learn more about memory requirements.
- Models with SSD support are tested with a single SSD volume.
- Operating in high-availability mode will incur additional overhead.
- Features enabled during evaluation: anti-spam, anti-virus, DNSBL, greylist, content scanning, and full-text search (English).
- Synology Surveillance Station:
- Performance figures are obtained from testing conducted with the device fully populated with drives, with their default memory configuration, and under a continuous recording setup. Actual system capabilities may vary based on configuration, drive performance, enabled features, and the presence of additional workloads.
- FS Series models are tested with SSD drives while all other models are tested with HDD drives.
- The performance metrics for SA6400 and SA3610 improve with the addition of expansion units. For detailed figures, please refer to this article.
- For specific models, Surveillance Station 9.1.3 or above is required to support the performance figures listed. Please check the product software specification for details.
Note
- Performance measurements are conducted using numerous client endpoints with optimized network settings and manual traffic distribution. Your product performance may vary depending on configuration and environmental factors.
- Performance testing for Synology applications is conducted without additional applications running on the system. Running multiple applications concurrently may impact both overall system performance and the performance of individual applications.
- The availability of specific models may vary by region.
- Deployment consultation is available for more complex or demanding requirements than the listed capabilities. Contact a Synology partner.
