Synology SA3200D External HDD/SSD Overview
Simplify and centralize your data management infrastructure with the SA3200D 12-Bay NAS Enclosure from Synology, a 2U rackmount server that helps minimize downtime with dual-controller architecture, helping to ensure that operations and core business functions are not severely impacted by a disaster or unplanned incident that take critical systems offline. The hardware redundancy mechanism leverages controllers, power supplies, and fans to help prevent a single point of failure so that your network, file services, and applications are protected. This unit has 12 drive bays, each of which natively supports 3.5" SAS hard drives, as well as 2.5" SAS hard drives and SSDs. Should users need to expand the overall capacity of their SA3200D, two mini-SAS ports can each accommodate one RXD1219sas expansion unit. Between the NAS and two expansion units, up to 36 drives are supported.
The SA3200D is powered by dual 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon D-1521 Quad-Core processors (one per controller), 16GB of DDR4 ECC RAM (8GB per controller) that can be upgraded to a total of 128GB (64GB per controller). Each controller has four DIMM slots and each slot supports up to 16GB. Network connectivity is achieved via the two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports (one per controller) or four Gigabit Ethernet ports (two per controller) with failover support, which helps to provide redundancy in the case that a LAN connection malfunction occurs on one port. In addition, link aggregation helps to increase connection speeds beyond the limits of a single network port or cable. If you're looking to expand this NAS, there are two PCIe Gen 3.0 x8/x8 slots (one per controller) that support 10/25GbE network cards.
The SA3200D runs on the DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system, which helps simplify managing your NAS, as well as accessing and sharing data. A variety of RAID modes are supported, which help provide users with data redundancy, speed, or a combination of both. Supported RAID modes include RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, Basic, and F1. For those who do not require a RAID, JBOD is also available, allowing each drive bay to be individually utilized.
Synology has engineered the SA3200D to be energy efficient. Not only does it offer four 60 x 60mm fans (two per controller) to help keep the system running cool, the server also supports numerous scheduled power on/off cycles and hard drive hibernation to further minimize power consumption and operation expenses. The SA3200 operates using redundant 500W power supplies on 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz and includes an accessory pack and two AC power cords. Protection is provided by a limited 5-year warranty.
