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.
