- 4 × 1GbE RJ-45 plus 2 × 10GbE RJ-45
Petabyte-scale storage with built-in 10GbE
The Synology SA3610 combines twelve SAS/SATA bays, a 12-core Intel Xeon D-1567 processor, 16 GB ECC memory and dual 10GbE networking. Expansion to 96 bays, two PCIe slots and out-of-band management support growing enterprise data, backup and application requirements.
Purpose-selected processor
Intel Xeon D-1567 with 12 cores supports the model's verified business-storage positioning.
12 hot-swappable drive bays
Install compatible 3.5-inch sas/sata hdd; 2.5-inch sas/sata ssd and expand to 96 bays where the listed expansion unit is used.
Expandable ECC memory
The system includes 16 GB DDR4 ECC RDIMM and supports up to 128 GB (32 GB × 4).
Integrated business networking
4 × 1GbE RJ-45 plus 2 × 10GbE RJ-45 provides wired connectivity without requiring the main PCIe expansion option.
Storage and I/O expansion
The verified Mini-SAS HD expansion connection and 2 × Gen3 x8 slots (x8 link) support future capacity or connectivity requirements.
Redundant power supplies
Two power paths reduce exposure to a single power-supply failure.
Who is the Synology SA3610 best for?
A strong choice for
- Centralised business file storage and backup
- Growing data sets that need verified bay expansion
- Rack deployments using ECC memory and built-in 10GbE
- Multi-site file sharing and synchronisation
- IT teams that require hot-swappable drive support and managed expansion
Consider another model if you need
- A smaller system with fewer than 12 drive bays
- An active-active SAN architecture for dedicated block storage
- A SATA-only drive strategy without SAS media
- A desktop enclosure rather than a rackmount system
