    Frequently Asked Questions

    Synology 8TB SAS drives are enterprise-grade and designed for 24/7 datacenter operation. Check individual model specs for MTBF and workload ratings.

    New Synology 8TB SAS drives are available with manufacturer warranty. Worth the premium for mission-critical deployments.

    RAID 6 is recommended for 8TB SAS drives. Rebuild times are moderate and dual parity protects against the second-drive failure that can occur during lengthy rebuilds.

    Use Case Scenarios

    🏠
    Home & SMB NAS
    Building a mid-range NAS for media, backups and file sharing.
    ✓ Excellent fit
    Verify CMR recording before using in RAID. New drives come with full warranty.
    💾
    Backup Server / Veeam Target
    Dedicated backup storage for Veeam, Commvault, or NetBackup.
    ✓ Excellent fit
    8TB SAS drives are ideal for backup targets. Dual-port SAS suits dual-path backup infrastructure.
    🏗️
    Virtualization Host Storage
    VM images and snapshots on Proxmox, VMware or Hyper-V.
    ~ Good fit
    Suitable for VM storage where workloads are not IOPS-intensive. SAS dual-port suits HA cluster shared storage. Consider NVMe cache for latency-sensitive VMs.

    Maintenance & Troubleshooting

    Maintenance Checklist

    On installCheck SMART baseline on arrival
    Run smartctl -a /dev/sdX and record: Reallocated_Sector_Ct, Power_On_Hours, Spin_Retry_Count. Establishes baseline for future comparison.
    MonthlyRun SMART short self-test
    smartctl -t short /dev/sdX — takes 1-2 minutes, catches most developing issues. Schedule during off-peak.
    QuarterlyRun SMART long self-test
    smartctl -t long /dev/sdX — full surface scan, takes 4 hours for 8TB. Any test failure is grounds for immediate replacement.
    QuarterlyCheck RAID array health
    Verify no degraded drives. A degraded array with no hot spare is one failure from data loss. Check mdstat or controller UI.
    AnnuallyVerify drive firmware version
    Check Synology support site for firmware updates. Some versions have known bugs affecting integrity.
    Every 3-5 yearsPlan proactive replacement
    Enterprise HDDs have higher failure rates after year 4-5. At 8TB per drive, budget for replacements before failures occur.

    Troubleshooting Guide

    Cause: HBA not initialized, SAS expander issue, cable fault, or incompatible controller.
    Fix: Verify HBA firmware. Check SAS topology with sas2ircu or StorCLI. Test with known-good cable. Confirm drive is SAS not SATA.
