SYNOLOGY HAT5320 NAS 8 TB SATA 3.5", 7200 RPM Hard Drive

SYNOLOGY HAT5320 NAS 8 TB is a 3.5" hard drive, aimed at stable and serious NAS configurations, where uptime and reliability are more important than anything else. With 8TB capacity and a speed of 7200 rpm, this drive is designed to handle constant traffic from files, backups, and services for multiple users simultaneously. Thanks to the SATA3 6 Gb/s interface and the large 512MB cache, the response to multiple parallel requests is noticeably smoother compared to typical desktop drives. Combined with the 36-month warranty, you get a serious solution for long-term operation in a NAS environment.

What you get here: the large 8TB capacity allows you to store large archives – from backups of several machines, through media libraries, to business documents for a small office. 7200 rpm means faster access to data and better transfer when working with large files or many simultaneous network connections. 512MB cache helps with burst loads – when several clients are downloading/uploading simultaneously, the drive buffers more effectively and reduces the feeling of “choking”. The standard 3.5" form factor and SATA3 interface make integration into most NAS boxes and server chassis direct and without surprises. The dimensions 147 x 101.85 x 26.10 mm are typical for a 3.5" drive, so it fits in almost every cage or hot-swap tray.

• Capacity of 8TB, sufficient for large backup archives, multimedia collections, or shared corporate storage.
• Speed of 7200 rpm for faster access and better transfer during intensive work in a network environment.
• 512MB cache memory, which helps with multiple simultaneous requests and improves the smoothness of the NAS operation.
• SATA3 6 Gb/s interface, compatible with mass-market NAS devices and server motherboards for easy integration.
• Form factor 3.5" and dimensions 147 x 101.85 x 26.10 mm for trouble-free mounting in standard drive trays.
• Hard drive type NAS, designed for long and constant operation in 24/7 scenarios and arrays.
• 36 months warranty, which gives you peace of mind for longer-term exploitation.

This drive is suitable if you are building or upgrading a NAS for a home server, small office, or studio, where there is constant data traffic and a need for serious capacity. It is also a good choice for a file server, backup solution, or media server. It is not the optimal option if you are looking for a primary drive for the OS in a gaming PC – there an SSD makes much more sense, and such an HDD is more logical to handle mass storage.

The combination of 8TB, 7200 rpm, and 512MB cache makes this SYNOLOGY drive a very reasonable choice for a NAS that needs to be simultaneously spacious, fast for the HDD class, and stable during prolonged operation.
