Blazingly-fast all-flash server aiming for I/O-intensive applications
Overview
Features
Uncompromising performance
Synology FlashStation FS6400 is a 2U rackmount server designed for I/O-intensive and latency-sensitive tasks, ideal for multimedia post-production, virtual machines, online transaction processing, or database applications.
CPU
Dual Intel® Xeon® Silver 8-core with NUMA
Memory
DDR4 ECC RDIMM, up to 512GB
High Performance
Over 240,000 iSCSI 4K random write IOPS
Scalability
Up to 72 drives with FX24211
Fast and reliable networking
With multi-LAN design, FS6400 is capable of performing Link Aggregation and failover. For environments requiring a higher speed, two optional Ethernet add-in cards can be installed on PCIe 3.0 slots to provide fast data transmission.

- File- or folder-level data restoration accelerates data recovery and provides more flexibility for businesses
- Automatic file self-healing detects and recovers corrupted files without user intervention
RAID F1
Due to the peculiarities of SSD and RAID technology, a common challenge lies in how to prevent all of the drives from failing at the same time because of the evenly distributed workload. RAID F1 alleviates this problem with a specially designed algorithm to unevenly distribute workload to drives, enhancing the resilience of the storage pool and ensuring your data remains safe.
See the white paper for more technical details regarding RAID F1
Compared with traditional RAID, RAID F1 distributes uneven workload to SSDs to prevent all drives from wearing out simultaneously.
Flash volume deduplication
Remove duplicate data on all-flash arrays with volume-wide deduplication to greatly increase storage efficiency. Eliminate redundant data to save up to 65% in storage space use in applications like virtual desktop infrastructure, and virtual machine.2
