Notes |
- Regarding data concerning tests with RAM expansion, all memory slots are installed with the maximum capacity of supported RAM.
- During testing, the maximum number of SSDs supported by this model is installed in a RAID 5 configuration.
- The testing standard was based on the maximum number of concurrent connections supported by this model. During the testing, 25% of the connections were used to transfer files concurrently. The transfer process guaranteed that the connections were not interrupted; the minimum transfer speed was not guaranteed.

Notes |
- Suggested users is derived from testing in an environment with 20% heavy users (each with 20,000 pre-populated emails and receiving 240 emails per day) and 80% light users (each receiving an average of 20 emails per day). Learn more
- The performance of the mail system will slightly decrease in high-availability mode due to data synchronization between the two servers.
- Functions that were enabled in all of the tests above: anti-spam, anti-virus, DNSBL, greylist, content scan, full-text search (English only).
- Models with expandable memory are tested with their maximum supported memory. To estimate the RAM requirement for your NAS, please read this article.

Notes |
- Performance figures are obtained from testing conducted with the device fully populated with drives, with their default memory configuration, and under a continuous recording setup. Actual system capabilities may vary based on configuration, drive performance, enabled features, and the presence of additional workloads.
- Use NVR Selector to quickly find a suitable model based on your requirements.
- The number of streams that can be viewed simultaneously is twice the suggested maximum number of cameras. For example, if the suggested maximum number of cameras for a model is 10 under H.264, 1080p, the model can support up to 20 streams of the same specification at the same time.

Recommended Number of Concurrent Sync Clients |
1,800 (the number of connections that can be maintained when the recommended number of hosted files was reached) |
|
Recommended Number of Hosted Files |
50,000,000 (applies to files indexed or hosted by Synology Drive. For file access through other standard protocols, refer to the File Services section above) |
|
Notes |
- Exceeding the recommended numbers above will not block application operations, but may result in longer response time.
- Utilizing SSD cache can significantly improve performance.
- Models with expandable memory are tested with their maximum supported memory.
- Btrfs file system and non-encrypted shared folders were used during the aforementioned testing.
