The Synology HAS5300 Series 12TB (HAS5310-12T) is a 3.5-inch SAS CMR hard drive engineered and validated for Synology NAS systems. Designed for businesses and IT teams running Synology RackStation and enterprise arrays, it combines 7200 RPM operation with DSM firmware updates for dependable 24/7 storage.

The drive Synology validates for its own NAS.

Why Synology NAS Owners Choose Synology Drives

Recent Synology NAS models check drives against Synology’s compatibility list, and unlisted drives can trigger warnings or limit features. Even where third-party drives work, firmware issues are harder to resolve.

The Synology HAS5300 Series 12TB removes that uncertainty. It is tested with Synology hardware and DSM, receives firmware updates through DSM and uses CMR recording for predictable rebuilds. At 12TB, it gives growing Synology NAS deployments room for several years of data growth per bay.

Full DSM Integration

Drive health, firmware updates and storage-pool management run inside Synology DSM, giving one interface for the whole storage stack.

Built for 24/7 Multi-Bay Operation

Rated for 550TB/year and 2.5 million hours MTBF, the drive is engineered for continuous operation in multi-bay Synology systems. Dual-port SAS supports high-availability RackStation deployments.
