Notes
Synology may revise pre-installed memory module specifications in response to component lifecycle and supply conditions. All revised components undergo the same rigorous validation to ensure equivalent compatibility, stability, and performance.
Please select Synology memory modules for optimum compatibility and reliability. Synology will not provide complete product warranty or technical support if non-Synology memory modules are used for memory expansion.
Power consumption is measured when it is fully loaded with Western Digital 1TB WD10JFCX hard drive(s).
Noise Level Testing Environment: Fully loaded with WD 1TB WD10JFCX hard drive(s) in the idle state. Two G.R.A.S. Type 40AE microphones, each set up 1 meter away from the Synology NAS at the front and rear. Background noise: 17.2 dB(A); Temperature: 23.6˚C; Humidity: 58.2%.
The warranty period starts from the purchase date as stated on your purchase receipt. (Learn more)
Extended Warranty Plus is only available in Europe and North America. Refer to the Extended Warranty Plus website for details on supported countries/regions. (Learn more)
Each internal volume (may consist of multiple drives) is expandable up to 108TB.
Actual maximum storage pool and volume sizes vary depending on drives used, the number of drive bays available, and the RAID configuration.
Usable capacity for each volume will be lower than the maximum volume size and is dependent on the filesystem and the amount of system metadata stored.
The suggested maximum number of users is based on the following workload: 20% of users with a 20,000 item mailbox randomly performing actions and receiving 240 emails per day, and 80% of users receiving 20 emails per day. Learn more
Models with SSD support are tested with a single SSD volume.
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.
Use NVR Selector to quickly find a suitable model based on your requirements.
The number of video channels that can be viewed simultaneously is double the maximum number of cameras for the same codec and resolution.
100,000 (applies to files indexed or hosted by Synology Drive. For file access through other standard protocols, refer to the File Services section above)
Notes
The suggested maximum number of users is based on the following workload: 20% of users randomly perform file operations (upload, download, move, and delete), and 80% of users are logged in but idle. Learn more
Models with SSD support are tested with a single SSD volume.
Models with expandable memory are tested with the maximum supported quantity installed.
Exceeding the recommended numbers above will not block application operations, but may result in longer response time.
Btrfs file system and non-encrypted shared folders were used during the aforementioned testing.
The suggested maximum number of users is based on the following workload: 20% of users are executing random actions at an average of 30-second intervals, and 80% of users are logged in and viewing a file. Learn more
Models with SSD support are tested with a single SSD volume.
Models with expandable memory are tested with the maximum supported quantity installed.
Client performance may affect maximum simultaneous editing users. Client PCs used for testing: Intel Core i3-3220 / 8GB RAM
Notes:Model specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
The figures are based on Synology internal testing. Each performance test is done individually. No other services or applications are processed at the same time.
The actual performance may be lower than lab testing figure due to differences in server configuration, deployment, and the number of active operations.
