The HAT3300‑4T is part of Synology’s Plus Series of HDDs (“HAT3300” line). It’s built for use in Synology NAS systems (home, small business, small‑/medium‑office). It is a 3.5‑inch SATA drive, optimized for 24/7 operation, multi‑user workloads, and integration with Synology’s DiskStation Manager (DSM) firmware updates.
Key Features
-
Capacity & Form Factor
-
4 TB storage.
-
3.5‑inch SATA drive.
-
-
Interface & Speed
-
SATA III (6 Gb/s) interface.
-
Rotational speed of ~5,400 RPM.
-
Sustained read/write speed up to ~202 MB/s.
-
-
Reliability / NAS‑oriented design
-
Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) technology; this helps ensure more predictable write performance (good for RAID, NAS use).
-
Designed for 24/7 operation in multi‑user environments.
-
High workload rating: 180 TB/year.
-
MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): about 1,000,000 hours.
-
-
Low Power Consumption / Efficiency
-
Idle power draw: ~ 3.96 W.
-
Active/read‑write ~ 4.85 W.
-
-
Durability & Environmental Specs
-
Operating temperature: 0‑65 °C
-
Non‑operating/storage temperature: ‑40 to 70 °C
-
Shock, vibration tolerances (for both operating and non‑operating).
-
-
Warranty & Support
-
3‑year limited warranty from Synology.
-
Firmware updates can be done via Synology’s DSM (DiskStation Manager), which helps maintain compatibility, stability, and often performance
-
-
Low Noise / Acoustics
-
Idle noise ~ 23 dB(A).
-
Seek / active noise ~ 27 dB(A).
-
What Makes It Strong / Advantages
-
Reliability for NAS: The drive is designed for always‑on NAS use; high workload rating, high MTBF, tested for Synology environments.
-
CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording): This is better than SMR for many NAS workloads, especially when many writes or RAID rebuilds are involved.
-
Firmware Integration: Being part of Synology’s own Plus/HAT3300 line means firmware updates can be pushed through DSM, simplifying maintenance.
-
Low Power & Good Efficiency: For its capacity, it has modest power draw especially at idle; good for NAS units with multiple disks.
-
Decent Sustained Throughput: Although not ultra‑fast, ~202 MB/s sustained transfer is solid for many use cases (media, backups, general file storage).
-
Quiet / Moderate Noise: Idle and operating noise are relatively modest; good for home/office settings.
Ideal Use Cases
-
Home NAS setups where media streaming, shared folders, backups are done regularly.
-
Small/medium business environments where reliability is more important than ultra high performance.
-
Environments where firmware updates integrated via Synology are an advantage (ease of maintenance).
-
NAS enclosures with multiple bays where multiple drives run continuously — the efficiency (lower power, lower heat, quieter) adds up.
