Synology ActiveProtect Appliance DP340 - Backup Appliance, Black

The Synology ActiveProtect DP340 is a backup appliance for small to medium-sized IT environments. It is a preconfigured system that handles backup and restoration tasks without the overhead of a general-purpose server. The desktop chassis contains four 3.5-inch 8 TB hard drives, providing a total storage capacity of 32 TB. The unit is powered by an AMD Ryzen R1600 dual-core processor and 16 GB of memory. A single administration console manages up to 30 servers or approximately 1,500 workloads.

For data integrity and security, the unit supports RAID 5 for hard drives and RAID 1 for solid-state drives. Connectivity includes two RJ-45 Ethernet ports, supporting both 1 GbE and 10 GbE speeds. Active cooling is provided by two internal fans, and the unit consumes 35.51 W under typical operating conditions. A single USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port is available for peripherals. Physical security features include a Kensington cable lock slot and locking drive bays. The unit weighs 5.2 kg and uses an external power supply.

• Immutable storage: Uses Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) technology to prevent backup data from being altered or deleted.
• Air-gapped backups: Enables offline storage to isolate critical data from network threats.
• Source-side deduplication: Reduces storage and bandwidth requirements by eliminating redundant data before transfer.
• Automated backup verification: Verifies the integrity of stored data to ensure successful restoration.
• Sandboxed disaster recovery testing: Provides an isolated environment for testing recovery without affecting production systems.
• Dual-rate Ethernet: Includes both 1 GbE and 10 GbE ports for network compatibility.
• Lockable drive bays: Secures the four 3.5-inch SATA storage drives against physical removal.
