Synology SA3410 12-Bay NAS Enclosure
The Synology SA3410 is a powerful 12-bay NAS enclosure designed to meet the high demands of modern businesses. With its ability to scale up to 96 drive bays and its excellent hardware performance, it is perfect for organizations requiring large-scale storage and advanced data management solutions. The SA3410 excels in storage scalability, data backup, virtualization support, and comprehensive data protection, making it suitable for enterprise environments dealing with vast amounts of data.
Detailed Overview:
The SA3410 is powered by an Intel Xeon D-1541 8-core processor, running at 2.1 GHz with burst speeds of up to 2.7 GHz, ensuring excellent multitasking performance. This processor enables the NAS to handle intensive workloads, including virtualization, high-resolution video storage, and real-time data backup.
It comes with 16GB of DDR4 ECC RAM, which is expandable up to 128GB, ensuring smooth performance even in high-demand environments. The use of ECC (Error Correcting Code) memory guarantees data integrity by automatically detecting and correcting memory errors.
The 12 hot-swappable drive bays support both 3.5″ and 2.5″ SATA hard drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs), giving you the flexibility to configure the NAS according to your storage needs. You can scale your system by adding up to 7 Synology RX1217 expansion units, bringing the total number of supported drives to 96 for massive storage capacity.
The SA3410 supports various RAID levels (RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, F1, and Synology Hybrid RAID), offering a combination of data protection and performance optimization. For advanced data protection, it also supports the Btrfs file system, which provides powerful snapshot and replication features, ensuring efficient and fast data backup and recovery.
Networking is another key strength of the SA3410. It features four Gigabit Ethernet ports, supporting Link Aggregation and failover for redundancy and enhanced network performance. Additionally, the system supports 10GbE networking via optional network interface cards (NICs), providing ultra-fast data transfers for bandwidth-intensive applications.
For further expandability, the SA3410 comes with PCIe expansion slots, which can be used to install NVMe SSDs for caching, significantly improving read and write speeds. The combination of HDDs and SSD caching allows businesses to balance capacity and performance efficiently.
Running on Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM), the SA3410 offers an intuitive interface with powerful data management tools. With DSM, users can centrally manage file sharing, storage, and backup tasks. The system integrates Synology Active Backup Suite, enabling seamless backup for Windows PCs, servers, and virtual machines. Moreover, the SA3410 is compatible with major virtualization platforms like VMware, Citrix, Hyper-V, and OpenStack, making it an excellent solution for virtualized environments.
The SA3410 is equipped with advanced security features, including AES 256-bit encryption, two-factor authentication, and IP blocklists, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected. The NAS also supports Synology High Availability (SHA), which ensures business continuity by seamlessly switching to a mirrored system in case of hardware failure.
