SYNOLOGY Hard Drive Hat33108t - 8TB - SATA 6gb/s - 3.5in - 7200rpm

The Synology HAT3310-8T is an internal 3.5" Serial ATA hard drive with 8 TB capacity and a 7200 RPM spindle speed, designed specifically for Synology systems and NAS use. Built on 100% conventional magnetic recording (CMR) technology, it provides steady write performance over the drive's lifetime and is intended for continuous 24/7 operation in multi-user environments. Firmware updates can be applied directly through Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) without removing the drive.

Advantages

Uses CMR technology to maintain consistent write speeds, undergoes comprehensive compatibility and stress testing for reliable 24/7 operation, and supports in-DSM firmware updates to simplify maintenance. The drive's 1,000,000-hour MTBF rating and 7200 RPM speed deliver a balance of durability and performance for NAS workloads.

Suitable for

• Synology NAS systems and other compatible 3.5" SATA enclosures
• Multi-user file sharing and collaboration environments
• Media libraries, backup repositories, and surveillance storage
• Small office and home office (SOHO) storage arrays
