Synology Launches HAS5300 SAS Enterprise Hard Drives

[Uskompuf]

Synology has announced the launch of its new HAS5300 series 3.5" SAS hard drives to meet growing demand for high-capacity, high-performance, and resilient storage systems in enterprise environments. Available in 16 TB, 12 TB, and 8 TB models, the HAS5300 drives are the latest addition to Synology's range of enterprise hard drives, following the release of the HAT5300 series SATA drives in January. They are perfect companions to Synology's high-performance and highly scalable SA and UC series storage solutions.

With support for 550 TB/year workloads and rated for a 2.5 million hours mean time to failure (MTTF), HAS5300 SAS drives are built to deliver consistent and class-leading performance in the most intense environments. Persistent write cache technology further helps ensure data integrity for your mission-critical applications.





Leveraging the SAS protocol, Synology HAS5300 drives allow customers to scale up to 180 drives on the high-performance Synology SA series or to maximize iSCSI system availability with the dual controller setup on the UC3200 active-active IP SAN. The drives also support fast data transfer for data-intensive configurations.

"The drives deliver up to 274 MB/s sustained data transfer speeds, making them the ideal choice for enterprises that require maximum performance and reliability," said Peggy Weng, Product Manager at Synology Inc. "Whether you are performing large-scale video surveillance, multimedia post-production, or other high-volume processes, the HAS5300 drives deliver consistent enterprise-grade performance."

Engineered to boost performance on Synology systems

More than 200,000 hours of compatibility and stress testing of the three models on Synology systems ensure that HAS5300 series drives offer unparalleled reliability and integration with Synology deployments, helping customers create thoroughly validated and dependable storage setups.

The HAS5300 series was optimized during development to ensure optimal compatibility and the best possible performance with Synology systems, most notably achieving a significant improvement in RAID rebuild performance.

"Custom firmware and optimization for Synology hardware enable 27% faster RAID rebuild times on systems with HAS5300 drives compared with similar-class drives on the market, significantly reducing the time that arrays spend in a degraded state and helping customers boost long-term system availability," Weng said.

HAS5300 drive firmware updates will be shipped together with the latest updates for Synology's DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system, reducing IT teams' maintenance workload and ensuring that your system always runs the newest software. The HAS5300 series comes with Synology's 5-year limited warranty.

Available today from Synology resellers

The 16 TB, 12 TB and 8 TB HAS5300 drives are available for purchase starting today from Synology resellers globally.

Who makes these, really? I'm betting the OEM is WD/HGST based on the model number (they also look like Helium Sealed drivers, which is a tech of theirs, though it does get sublicensed), but is there any real data on the OEM since Synology is obviously hiding it?

Sorry, but you were wrong

The model number is clearly visible even on the tiny picture in the article and a quick search on the interweb brought back a result of Toshiba.
More specifically the 16TB model is this one.

To be fair, I didn't exactly exclaim certainity. I mean I literally asked if I was right or wrong, lol.

Should've known to just google it. Though Toshiba did get their 3.5" patent portfolio as a result of the WD aquisition of HGST to please regulators, so I was at least kinda on target.

Based on the wd gold 14 tb I have. It's fast for a hdd with transfer speed of up to 260 mb/s. But it's not a silent hdd.

What I want to with this info. Is that they are fast, but enter price class hdd are not silent. So if it a silent hdd you are after, it's not a enter price hdd you should go for.

I use nothing but Toshiba drives in my TrueNas Server, if these are not marked up by Synology ill use them.

I've been using Toshiba for a few years too, had one starting to fail on me, but got it replaced on warranty, since then, no problems.
Admittedly one of my five year old drives died 10 minutes after I copied the data from my old NAS, but hey...

I too have had one Toshiba drive fail, but it was a cheapo 2.5" so hardly a good one to judge the brand by.

They will be marked up, thats the whole point of this and its pretty shitty.
