Synology HD6500 Overview

With 60 drive bays in a 4 RU rackmount enclosure, the HD6500 60-Bay Rackmount NAS Enclosure from Synology is a high-density storage solution for large-scale warm and cold storage applications such as full system backups, video post-production, and large surveillance deployments, thanks to sequential read speeds of up to 6688 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 6622 MB/s. Built with 60 drive bays that can accommodate 3.5" SAS-3 hard drives and 2.5" SATA III SSDs, the SA3610's storage can be expanded to have 300 total drive bays using four optional RX6022sas expansion units.

The HD6500 is equipped with dual 2.1 GHz Intel Xeon Silver 4210R 10-Core processors and 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory that can be expanded up to 512GB. Also featured are two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, two mini-SAS ports, two PCIe 3.0 x16/x16 slots, and two PCIe 3.0 x8/x8 slots for peripherals and accessories. Network connectivity is achieved via the two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports and two Gigabit Ethernet ports. For those who require RAID support, the HD6500 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10, as well as Basic, each of which offers performance, data redundancy, or a combination of both. For those who do not require a RAID, JBOD is also available, allowing each drive bay to be individually utilized. System operations are kept cool using four 80mm fans.

The Synology HD6500 60-Bay Rackmount NAS Enclosure operates on 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz using dual redundant 1600W power supplies. Included are two 480GB SATA SSDs, a rail kit sliding, an accessory pack, and two AC power cords. Protection is provided by a limited 5-year warranty.

All the Space You'll Ever Need
With 60 bays in a 4 RU 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.
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.
Designed for High Reliability
The HD6500 is built to keep mission-critical data and services accessible, so that vital work can continue 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.
Powerful Networking Options
The HD6500 supports a wide variety of networking interfaces, protocols, and configurations, whether you need fast sequential transfer, support for simultaneous connections, or high network redundancy.

Built-In Fast Connectivity
Three Gigabit Ethernet and two 10GbE RJ-45 ports allow for high transfer speeds right out of the box.

Mix and Match Network Ports
Add extra 10GbE SFP+/RJ-45, 25GbE SFP28, or Fiber Channel ports in varying configurations by leveraging the four expansion slots.

Failover and Network Balancing
Bond multiple network interfaces with Link Aggregation to enable automatic network failover and load balancing.
Consolidate Your Data Storage
Back up your backup solutions, bring all your files together in one place, or bring distributed surveillance deployments under central control.
Private Cloud
A Private Cloud Suite for File Sharing
Synology Drive is a private cloud management and access solution that enables remote data access, synchronization, on-demand file restoration, and backup via desktop and mobile applications. Sync data between different platforms and devices, and access your organization's files through mobile apps, desktop clients, and a browser-based interface. Set granular file and folder access and sharing permissions. Maintain a full overview of file activities and track file share settings changes with detailed records in the advanced Synology Drive Admin Console.

Cross-Site Syncing
Leverage SMB or NFS shares to provide efficient access to company files over the local network or VPN. Manage data access privileges with access control lists (ACL) though Active Directory/LDAP integration and protect files against tampering or removal with built-in snapshot technology.
Cross-Site Syncing
Secure Site-to-Site File and Folder Syncing
Make sure branches or teams always have up-to-date local copies of crucial documents and data by syncing folders one or two-way using Synology Drive ShareSync. Let your Synology systems update files across locations with each change to efficiently keep all stakeholders on the same page.

Efficient Cross-Site Syncing Through the Cloud
Securely synchronize files and data from the HD6500 to Synology systems across different sites or offices, and back, by leveraging hybrid cloud technology with Synology Hybrid Share. Synchronize large sets of data to the cloud, and leverage the powerful bandwidth of our data centers to stream requested files to local NAS deployed at branch offices, no matter their size. Frequently used files are kept stored on local NAS to provide users access at LAN speeds and can also be pinned manually to prevent them from being removed from the cache.
Central Backup Server
Protect large numbers of PCs, servers, Synology systems, and hypervisors, or back up your backup servers with a central storage solution.
Back Up Synology Storage Systems
Use Hyper Backup to back up files, LUNs, installed applications, and system configurations from tens or hundreds of Synology servers to your HD6500. Set and forget backup tasks with regular schedules, enhance security with fine-grained user permissions and encryption, reduce backup sizes with built-in deduplication, and restore data flexibly with multi-versioning.

Snapshot Replication enables configurable point-in-time snapshots of shared folders and LUNs with an RPO as low as 5 minutes and recovery within seconds.
Bare-Metal Backup for Synology NAS
Centrally manage bare-metal backups of all your Synology servers from a single centralized console on your HD6500. Leverage built-in deduplication technology to reduce backup sizes, and multi-versioning to allow flexible restoration.
