Synology RX418 External HDD/SSDĀ Overview
ThisĀ B&H KitĀ combines theĀ Synology RX418 4-Bay Expansion UnitĀ with four WD 10TB Red 5400 rpm SATA III 3.5″ hard drives for a total storage capacity of 40TB.
TheĀ RX418 4-Bay Expansion UnitĀ fromĀ SynologyĀ is designed to provide storage expansion for their RS818+ RS818RP+, RS815+, RS815RP+, RS816, and RS815 NAS arrays. It can also be used as a dedicated local backup destination for Synology 1 RU RackStation arrays for comprehensive data protection.
The four drive bays of the RX418 natively support 3.5″ and 2.5″ SATA hard drives and SSDs. The drives are hot-swappable and there is also RAID management through Synology Disk Station Manager. The RX418 is equipped an eSATA port, which allows for connectivity with your host NAS, and operates using a 100W power supply that run using 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. Included is an accessory pack, an AC power cord, and an eSATA cable.
TtheĀ 10TB Red 5400 rpm SATA III 3.5″ Internal NAS HDD Retail KitĀ fromĀ WDĀ is a mainstream solution for the higher workloads required by SMB (Small and Medium Business) users in 1- to 8-bay systems and meets the needs of the ZFS community. Engineered to handle increased workloads, this 10TB drive operates using a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, a 256MB cache, and a rotational speed of 5400 rpm, all of which help to ensure uninterrupted data transfers with a sustained rate of up to 210 MB/s. This drive also features high levels of reliability, with 600,000 load/unload cycles, <1 in 1014Ā non-recoverable read errors per bits read, error recovery controls, and 1,000,000 hours MTBF for 1-8 bay NAS systems. Also built into this drive are noise and vibration protection and WD’s NASware 3.0 helps increase system compatibility, allowing WD Red drives to be more easily integrated with your existing network infrastructure.
- Compatibility: Without being tested for compatibility with your NAS system, improved performance is not guaranteed
- Reliability: The always-on environment of a NAS or RAID is a hot one and desktop drives aren’t typically tested in those conditions. WD Red is
- Error Recovery Controls: WD Red NAS hard drives are specifically designed with RAID error recovery control to help reduce failures within the NAS system. Desktop drives are not typically designed for RAID environments where this can be an issue
- Noise and Vibration Protection: Designed to operate solo, desktop drives offer little or no protection from the noise and vibration faced in a multi-drive system. WD Red drives are designed for multi-bay NAS systems
