The Synology Plus Series 16TB (HAT3310-16T) is a 3.5-inch CMR hard drive engineered and validated for Synology NAS systems. Designed for home users and small businesses running Synology DiskStation NAS, it combines 7200 RPM operation with DSM firmware updates for dependable 24/7 storage.

The drive Synology validates for its own NAS.

Eliminating Compatibility Worries in Synology NAS

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 Plus Series 16TB removes that uncertainty. It is tested with Synology hardware and DSM, receives firmware updates through DSM and uses CMR recording for predictable rebuilds. At 16TB per drive, it cuts the number of bays needed for the same usable capacity, which lowers power draw and simplifies Synology NAS expansion.

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

The drive is engineered for continuous operation in multi-bay Synology systems.
