The Synology DS220+ supports a maximum individual drive size of 16 TB.
The Synology DiskStation DS220+ is a versatile 2-bay NAS designed for home and small office use, offering robust data management and multimedia capabilities. When considering its storage capacity, it's essential to understand the different maximums related to drives and volumes.
Synology DS220+ Drive and Capacity Specifications
While the DS220+ can accommodate a variety of 3.5" SATA HDDs, 2.5" SATA HDDs, and 2.5" SATA SSDs, the maximum capacity for a single physical drive that can be installed is 16 TB. This allows users to build a substantial storage solution within the device.
Here's a breakdown of the key storage capacities for the Synology DS220+:
| Specification | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Individual Drive Size | 16 TB | This refers to the largest capacity of a single hard drive or SSD that can be installed into one of the DS220+'s drive bays. With two bays, you can install two 16 TB drives. |
| Maximum Internal Raw Capacity | 32 TB | This is the total combined storage capacity if you populate both drive bays with the largest supported individual drives (16 TB drive x 2). Note that usable capacity will be less depending on the RAID configuration (e.g., RAID 1 for data redundancy). |
| Maximum Single Volume Size | 108 TB | This indicates the largest logical storage volume that the Synology DS220+ can support. While it currently supports 16 TB drives, this larger volume size ensures future compatibility with potentially larger drives or advanced storage configurations as technology evolves. |
For optimal performance and reliability, it is always recommended to use drives from Synology's compatibility list. Utilizing 16 TB drives maximizes the internal raw storage potential of the DS220+, providing up to 32 TB before considering RAID overhead.
