High Density HD6500
Scalable high-density storage server for multi-petabyte applications
All the space you will ever need
With 60 bays in a 4U rackmount enclosure and support for up to 300 drives after expansion, the Synology HD6500 is the ideal high-density storage solution for large-scale warm and cold storage applications such as full system backups, video post-production, and large surveillance deployments.
CPU
2 x 10-core Intel Xeon Silver
Throughput
Over 6,688/6,662MB/s sequential read/write1
Memory
64 GB DDR4 ECC, expandable to 512 GB
Scalability
Expand to 300 drives with four RX6022sas expansion units
Consistent performance at five times the size
The HD6500 is designed to scale up to 5 times in capacity with four additional RX6022sas expansion units. SAS multipath-enabled connectivity provides up to double the typical performance together and increased redundancy.
Built for high reliability
The HD6500 is built to keep mission-critical data and services accessible, so that businesses can continue to perform even when disaster strikes.
Out-of-band (OOB) management
Simplify troubleshooting by managing powered-down devices remotely and accessing critical logs through a dedicated interface.
Dual power supply
Reduce the possibility of power disruptions on a single distribution channel or PDU adversely impacting data and service availability with redundant PSUs.
High-reliability expansion architecture
Redundant SAS links prevent single points of failure from affecting other expansion units, ensuring higher data and service availability.
