The Synology FS6400 24-Bay FlashStation NAS Server

Using a similar chassis to that of the FS3017 Flashstation NAS, this new FS6400 24-Bay NAS is a rackmount solution that aims to provide unparalleled IOPS speeds, remarkably fast external access speeds over 10Gbe (with ports on-board), as well as room to evolve with multiple PCIe slots and high memory upgradability. Alongside this, as it is a rackmount NAS, it will include 5 years of warranty. Though it is unconfirmed about the support this unit with have for the Synology Replacement Service or the Synology Premium Service – though I am inclined to think it will include these services as standard. There isn’t any confirmation regarding media types, but we do know that it can be expanded with official Synology expansion chassis to a high degree, we are still waiting to know about whether this will be SATA Only, NVMe, U.2 or a combination of media types. Currently, Synology only supports NVMe as an SSD caching option, but increased support of this as a raw storage media type in flash devices would be of particular interest to many. We shall see.
