* Performance testing was conducted by Synology using 12 drives on an SA3600, configured using RAID 5, against similar class drives (Enterprise) with IOMeter (64KB blocks). Actual performance may vary depending on workload, testing methods, and how devices and software are configured.
** Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) is not an estimate of product life; it is a statistical value related to mean failure rates for a large number of products which may not accurately reflect actual operation. Actual operating life of the product may be different from the MTBF.
*** The average update time data for 3rd party drives was calculated by multiplying the time required for updating a single drive by 24. The average update time is based on tests conducted using a Synology system fitted with 24 Synology drives.
