Synology HAS5300 8TB SAS 3.5″ Enterprise HDD

The Synology HAS5300 8TB SAS 3.5″ Enterprise HDD is an enterprise-grade hard disk drive designed for use in high-demand environments, such as data centers and businesses requiring reliable storage solutions for their server systems. Below are key details about the drive:

Key Features:

• Capacity: 8TB, providing ample storage space for large-scale applications, backups, and databases.
• Interface: SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) 12Gb/s, offering high-speed data transfer and enhanced reliability compared to SATA drives.
• Form Factor: 3.5-inch, suitable for enterprise systems that require traditional HDD form factor compatibility.
• Performance: The HAS5300 is built for high-performance workloads, ideal for enterprise environments with demands for high throughput and low latency.
• Workload Rating: Designed for heavy, 24/7 workloads with a high duty cycle. Typically rated for 550TB/year workload, making it suitable for intensive applications.
• Endurance and Reliability: The HDD is engineered with enterprise-level reliability features such as advanced error correction, vibration resistance, and optimized power consumption to ensure minimal downtime and longer lifespan.
• Cache: Often equipped with a large cache size (e.g., 256MB or more), which helps improve performance in handling random data requests and larger datasets.
• Rotation Speed: Typically 7,200 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute), providing a balance of performance and energy efficiency for enterprise use.
• MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): High MTBF, meaning the drive is designed to run reliably for extended periods without failure, essential for mission-critical applications.
• Compatibility: Fully compatible with Synology NAS systems, especially those in their enterprise and business-class product lines, but it can also be used in other systems supporting SAS interfaces.
• RAID and Redundancy Support: Supports RAID configurations (RAID 1, RAID 5, etc.) for added data redundancy and protection in enterprise storage environments.

Applications:

• Ideal for NAS (Network-Attached Storage) and SAN (Storage Area Network) systems.
• Suitable for handling data-intensive tasks, including virtualization, data analytics, and video surveillance.
• Typically used in business servers, backup systems, and large-scale storage environments.

This HDD is built to deliver sustained performance, excellent reliability, and high endurance, which are critical for enterprise storage solutions.
