The SA6400 12-Bay NAS Enclosure from Synology is 2 RU rackmount server engineered for scalability and performance. Its high sustained throughput, ability to scale up to 108 drive bays, and comprehensive data protection solutions make it suitable for large storage deployments that require fast data transfer speeds and dependable service uptime. This unit has 12 drive bays, each of which natively supports 3.5" SATA hard drives, as well as 2.5" SATA hard drives and SSDs. Should users need to expand the overall capacity of their SA6400, up to eight RX1223RP expansion units offer an additional 12 drive bays each. This NAS can deliver sequential reads of up to 6500 MB/s and sequential writes of up to 4000 MB/s.





The SA6400 is powered by a 2.9 GHz AMD EPYC 7272 12-Core processor, which will allow you to run multiple functions simultaneously. The built-in 32GB of DDR4 ECC RAM will allow quick access to frequently used files and programs and may also be upgraded to a total of 1TB. Also featured are two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, which allow it to be connected to compatible peripherals. Network connectivity is achieved via the two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports or four Gigabit Ethernet ports with failover support, which help 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 slots.





The SA6400 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 SA6400 to be energy efficient. Not only does it offer four 80 x 80mm fans to help keep the system running cool, the server supports numerous scheduled power on/off cycles and hard drive hibernation to further minimize power consumption and operation expenses. The SA6400 operates using dual redundant power supplies (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.
