Synology introduces its own SSDs
Synology has announced its own SSDs. The company releases a SATA SSD, the SAT5200, and two m2 flash products. In addition, Synology is introducing two m2 adapters, the M2D20 and E10M20-T1.
The SAT5200 is a 2.5″ SSD with a sata600 interface that will be available in capacities of 480GB, 960GB and 1920GB. The maximum sequential read speed is 530MB/s and sequential write speeds up the disk at 500MB/s. The SSD can read randomly. with 1920GB at up to 98,000 iops and write at 60,000 iops.
The SNV3400 and SNV3500 have form factors of m2.2280 and m2.22110 respectively. These are NVME PCI-E 3.0 x4 SSDs. These only come in 400GB versions and they do sequential read and write at successively up to 3100 and 550 MB/s, while random read and write can be done at up to 205,000 and 40,000 iops.
According to Synology, the SSDs have been tested for long-term stress for use in demanding environments, such as virtualized workloads, high-traffic database storage, and artificial intelligence and high-performance computing projects. It is not known which controller the SSDs have and a price is also unknown.
