Synology Plus Series HDDs: reliable drives for home and office systems
Synology Plus Series HDDs: Safe storage for NAS
Synology has added to its storage ecosystem by releasing the Plus Series SATA HDDs. These drives are designed to work reliably 24/7 in Synology’s entry-level and mainstream NAS systems. Designed to meet the endurance, performance, and consistency demands of always-on environments, these drives provide a dependable foundation for file sharing, backups, and surveillance workloads.
Choosing NAS-validated drives is an important part of building a storage infrastructure that can last a long time and perform reliably for businesses that plan to keep data for a long time.
Designed for NAS Workloads That Don’t Stop
The Synology Plus Series HDDs are built to handle heavy workloads over time, unlike consumer desktop drives. These CMR-based drives have a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1 million hours and a workload rating of 180 TB per year. This means they last much longer, making them great for environments with multiple users, automated backups, and continuous video recording.
When designing storage solutions for small offices, branch locations, and growing businesses, Epis Technology often suggests NAS-rated drives like the Synology Plus Series. Using drives validated specifically for Synology systems helps reduce performance inconsistencies, rebuild risks, and unexpected downtime.
Tested to the fullest for Synology systems
One of the best things about the Plus Series HDDs is that they have been thoroughly tested. Each model has undergone over 300,000 hours of compatibility and stress testing with Synology NAS platforms. This testing makes sure that the system works well when rebuilding RAID, during peak usage times, and with mixed workloads.
This level of validation means that businesses that rely on their NAS for daily operations will have fewer support issues and more reliable systems. Epis Technology includes this compatibility testing in its planning and deployment process for NAS to make sure that performance is consistent from the start.
Unified Support and Easy Firmware Management
With DiskStation Manager (DSM), you can directly update the firmware on Synology Plus Series HDDs, so you don’t have to take the drives out to do it. This reduces maintenance windows and helps maintain consistent drive behavior across the storage pool.
Additionally, Synology provides one-stop support for both the NAS and the drives themselves. From a support and lifecycle management point of view, this makes it easier to fix problems and deal with warranties. Epis Technology complements this with proactive monitoring, firmware planning, and lifecycle guidance as part of its Synology support and consulting services.
Options for flexible capacity as data grows
The Plus Series HDD lineup includes 4 TB, 6 TB, 8 TB, and 12 TB models, allowing organizations to scale storage based on current needs and future growth. These options make the drives suitable for a wide range of use cases, from basic file storage to backup repositories and surveillance archives.
Epis Technology helps businesses choose the right drive sizes, RAID setups, and expansion plans for their scalable storage systems so that they can get the best balance of cost, performance, and redundancy.
Ideal for Backup, File Storage, and Surveillance
The Synology Plus Series HDDs are great for common NAS tasks, such as:
- Centralized storage and collaboration for files
- Backups of PCs and servers that happen automatically
- Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace backup targets
- Recording video surveillance all the time
Businesses can make storage platforms that are safe, dependable, and easy to use by combining these drives with Synology’s data protection tools and Epis Technology’s deployment knowledge.
