Defend against operational disruptions with two independent and hot-swappable controllers operating in an active-passive configuration. The SA3400D is engineered to provide outstanding performance in both NAS and SAN storage roles. Its throughput and random I/O performance support efficient SMB and NFS file serving as well as a range of iSCSI and Fibre Channel block storage applications. Manage, protect, and share data with versatile business solutions. Empower team collaboration, sandbox applications, and provide VM storage on a unified platform. Flexibly scale storage capacity, optimize I/O performance, and meet different network needs with a range of expansion options. Scale server capacity up to 864 TB when your data storage needs increase by adding two 12-bay RXD1219sas expansion units. Add 10/25GbE connectivity with optional add-in cards. Create all-flash storage volumes with SAS SSD for lightening-fast I/O, or boost IOPS and cut down latency on HDD volumes by creating SAS SSD read/write cache volumes. The SA3400D is backed by Synology's 5-year limited warranty, including technical support and hardware replacement services to maximize your return on investment and ensure continuous, high-quality performance.
