Synology SA6400 12-Bay NAS Enclosure (32GB RAM)

Synology SA6400 12-Bay NAS Enclosure

Synology SA6400 12-Bay NAS is a rackmount storage server engineered for scalability and performance.

The high sustained throughput, the ability to scale up to 108 drive bays, and the comprehensive high-availability and data protection solutions available in Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) make the SA6400 ideal for large storage deployments requiring lightning-fast data transfer speeds and dependable service uptime.

Key Features

    • Capacity
      Un-populated twelve (12) bay network attached NAS storage device.

    • On-Demand Expansion
      Up to 1.944 PB of storage with up to 8 Synology RX1223RP Expansion Units (sold separately).

    • Accelerated Performance
      Over 6,500/4,000 MB/s sequential read/write throughput for efficient file transfer operations even in data-intensive scenarios.

    • Fast Connectivity
      Built-in 10GbE RJ-45 ports for easy integration into any environment and support for 25/40GbE or Fibre Channel upgrades.

    • Uptime Protection
      Option to combine two identical devices into a Synology High Availability cluster for maximum service uptime and minute-level failover.


On-demand storage expansion


The SA6400 scales up flexibly whenever your data demands do. Accommodate up to 9 times the original capacity by adding 12-bay RX1223RP expansion units (sold separately) as your deployment grows.

Built for high reliability

The SA6400 is designed with built-in redundancies to keep mission-critical services running, even when disaster strikes.

    • Out-of-band (OOB) management
      Remotely power on/off, force restart, and reset your server, or view real-time and historical DSM system logs, even while the device is powered off or the primary network is down, using the dedicated out-of-band management console.

    • Redundant power supply
      Reduce the possibility of power disruptions on a single distribution channel or power distribution unit adversely impacting data and service availability with redundant PSUs.

    • Failover cluster
      Combine two SA6400 units into a high-availability cluster with Synology High Availability to achieve full hardware and data redundancy. Minute-level failover minimizes data loss and downtime in the event of server failure, or while performing system updates or upgrades.


Advanced networking options

The SA6400 has the flexibility to accommodate different operating environments.

    • Built-in fast connectivity
      Two 10GbE RJ-45 ports provide rapid transfer speeds right out of the box.

    • Configurable networking options
      Add up to 2 extra 10GbE SFP+/RJ-45, 25GbE SFP28, or Fibre Channel ports in varying configurations.

    • Failover and network balancing
      Bond multiple network interfaces with Link Aggregation to enable automatic network failover and load balancing.


Versatile data storage and business application platform

Provide easy access to business data, consolidate digital assets, or host cost-efficient business solutions.

Flexible file server


Take advantage of the SA6400’s high storage capacity and expansion capability to host large amounts of data on a central repository.

Provide user-friendly access to business data and set up powerful cross-site syncing to empower remote and multi-site collaboration.

Private cloud


A private cloud suite for file sharing

Empower your entire organisation with a streamlined ability to access, share, and sync data from anywhere. Provide employees with access to corporate files through mobile apps, desktop clients, and a browser-based interface.

Set granular file and folder access and sharing permissions. Maintain a full overview of file activities and track file share settings changes with detailed records in the Synology Drive Admin Console.

SMB/NFS implementation at scale

Leverage SMB or NFS protocols to provide efficient access to company files over the local network or VPN. Manage data access privileges with access control lists (ACL) through Active Directory/LDAP integration and protect files against tampering, loss, or removal with built-in snapshot technology.

Cross-site syncing


Secure site-to site file and folder syncing

Make sure branches always have up-to-date copies of crucial documents and data available locally by syncing Synology systems one or two-way using Synology Drive ShareSync.

Have files updated across locations each time there is a change to efficiently keep all stakeholders on the same page.

Efficient cross-site syncing through the cloud

Boost syncing speeds, cut bandwidth use, and reduce your storage footprint by leveraging the powerful connectivity of our data centres.

Synology Hybrid Share intelligently synchronizes data to Synology devices. Large or less frequently accessed files are stored on the cloud to reduce local storage requirements, while frequently used files are stored on local devices to provide users access at LAN speeds.

Central backup server


Back up PCs, servers, Synology systems, SaaS data, and VMs, and back up your backup servers themselves with a scalable central storage solution.

Back up Windows and Linux endpoints


Bare-metal PC, server, and VM backup

Securely back up Windows clients and servers, Linux endpoints, Synology systems, and VMware and Hyper-V virtual machines to the SA6400 with Active Backup for Business. Manage them through a centralised management console and choose between bare-metal or file-level restoration. Built-in data deduplication maximizes storage efficiency.

SaaS protection with local backups

Protect Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace accounts by maintaining complete offline copies of your crucial information and configurations with Active Backup for Microsoft 365 and Active Backup for Google Workspace.

Back up Synology storage systems


Backup destination for shares and LUNs

Use Hyper Backup to back up files, LUNs, installed applications, and system configurations from tens or hundreds of Synology servers to your SA6400.

Set and forget backup tasks with regular schedules, enhance security with fine-grained user permissions and encryption, reduce backup sizes with built-in deduplication, and restore data flexibly with multi-versioning.

Snapshot Replication enables configurable point-in-time snapshots of shared folders and LUNs with an RPO as low as 5 minutes and recovery within seconds.

Bare-metal backup for Synology systems

Manage bare-metal backups of all your Synology servers from a single centralised console on the SA6400. Leverage built-in deduplication technology to reduce backup sizes while multi-versioning provides flexible restoration options.

Business application platform


Host cost-efficient business solutions, either through containers, virtual machines, or Synology DiskStation (DSM)’s own solutions, including a powerful free backup suite, a versatile mail server, and a surveillance VMS with transparent licensing.

Synology productivity solutions


Collaboration in a secure cloud

Create and edit documents, spreadsheets, and slides together with your whole team in real time. Easily migrate existing documents from other platforms and take ownership of your files in a secure private cloud.

Synology’s private cloud mail solution provides ease of use, full data ownership, and robust data security with a low total cost of ownership thanks to its perpetual licensing model.

Keep teams connected through encrypted one-on-one private chats, public channels, and group conversations. Efficiently organise discussions with bookmarks, searchable hashtags, and chatbots.

Containerization and virtualization-ready


Application test environment

Run Docker containers and VMs on SA6400 using Docker and Synology Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) — a hypervisor for virtualised versions of Windows, Linux, and DSM — to safely test and evaluate applications.

Virtual DSM serves as a test environment for package updates or to add an additional layer of security between applications, systems, and data.

Centralized monitoring and management

Stay on top of your fleet and keep it in optimal condition with our cloud and DSM-based monitoring and management solutions.

    • Central Management System (CMS)
      Conveniently manage your fleet of Synology systems from a centralised console.

    • Active Insight
      A powerful cloud-based platform for monitoring performance, backup status, login activity and performing lightweight management tasks.
