Notes:

Performance testing conducted by Synology with 10GbE NICs installed. Actual results may vary depending on system configuration, testing methods, and other environmental variables. Check the performance page for additional details.
PCIe add-in cards, expansion units, and storage drives are sold separately. Refer to the compatibility list for compatible devices.
SSD cache can be enabled by using Synology SAT5200 2.5" SSDs or without occupying drive bays by installing Synology SNV3000 NVMe SSDs with M2D20 or E10M20-T1 adapter cards. All devices are sold separately.
Users have reported total data size reductions of more than 50% when backing up multiple systems with deduplication technology enabled.
Extended Warranty Plus must be purchased within 90 days of the device purchase date or, if none is available, 180 days of the device manufacturing date. A Synology Account is required for the purchase. The starting date of Extended Warranty Plus additional coverage is calculated based on the purchase date of your Synology NAS. If you cannot provide proof of purchase, the device manufacturing date applies.
