Synology SA3410 12-Bay NAS Enclosure

The Synology SA3410 is a 12-bay rackmount NAS enclosure designed for organizations that move large amounts of data and rely on quick, reliable access every day. Its architecture balances raw performance with room to grow, making it a solid foundation for file servers, backup targets, or a private cloud.

Inside, an eight-core Intel Xeon D-1541 processor works with 16 GB of ECC DDR4 memory, and both can handle simultaneous users, heavy virtualization, or multi-gigabyte file transfers without hesitation. If workloads increase, memory can be expanded to 128 GB, and two PCIe 3.0 x8 slots let you add additional 10 GbE or 25 GbE network cards.

Throughput reaches up to 6200 MB/s for sequential reads and 3000 MB/s for sequential writes, so large media projects, database snapshots, or virtual machine images move quickly. Two built-in 10 GbE ports and four 1 GbE ports offer flexible connectivity, while dual 550 W power supplies and four 80 mm fans maintain uptime and cooling.

When capacity becomes the priority, the chassis connects to expansion units for a total of 96 drives, and it supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, F1, and JBOD for the right balance between performance and protection. Compatibility with Windows AD, SMB, NFS, and LDAP streamlines integration into mixed environments, and out-of-band management lets administrators monitor the system even if the primary network is down.

Creative agencies juggling 4K video, research labs capturing instrument data, and IT teams building a disaster recovery target can all deploy the SA3410 with confidence. Its five-year warranty and Synology’s technical support provide added peace of mind for long-term projects.
