Synology SNV3000 SNV3510-400G 400 GB Solid State Drive - M.2 22110 Internal - PCI Express NVMe (PCI Express NVMe 3.0 x4)

Designed to accelerate Synology NAS caching workloads, the SNV3510-400G NVMe SSD delivers reliable, high-speed performance for 24/7 multi-user environments. This 400 GB M.2 22110 drive uses the PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 interface to deliver consistent I/O and low latency for frequently accessed data, helping your NAS respond faster and handle bursts of activity with ease. Built by Synology for seamless integration, it’s purpose-built to optimize caching workflows in DSM-powered systems. Whether you’re accelerating virtual machines, streaming media, or safeguarding rapidly changing datasets, this SSD is engineered to keep critical data closer to the processor for rapid access and efficient operations. With caching as a core strategy, the SNV3510-400G helps balance performance with reliability, making it a compelling choice for modern Synology deployments that demand steady throughput and predictable latency even under heavy load.

• High-speed caching with consistent I/O and low latency ensures snappy responses for frequently accessed data, even under heavy multi-user load. This means faster app launches, quicker file previews, and smoother multi-user operations when the NAS handles multiple clients simultaneously.
• Purpose-built for Synology DSM caching, this SSD accelerates read and write operations across cached datasets, boosting overall system throughput. It integrates with Storage Manager to enable dynamic caching, adapt to workload changes, and deliver tangible improvements in data access speeds.
• Durable, enterprise-grade flash designed for 24/7 operation in shared NAS environments, with robust wear-leveling and error-correcting features to maintain cache integrity and data reliability across long-running caching sessions. The drive is built to endure the rigors of continuous caching workloads and frequent hot data access.
• M.2 22110 form factor with PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 interface provides ample bandwidth for caching workloads while remaining compact enough for enterprise NAS platforms that support this slot type. The compact footprint makes it suitable for compatible NAS devices and expansion configurations that require a high-performance cache SSD in a small form factor.
• Easy DSM integration with straightforward cache configuration; supports read-only and read/write caching modes to tailor performance for your workload. This flexibility helps you prioritize responsiveness for interactive tasks or balance throughput for data-heavy operations, all within Synology’s familiar Storage Manager interface.

how to install SNV3510-400G

• Verify NAS compatibility: Ensure your Synology NAS model supports NVMe cache and has an available M.2 slot (M.2 22110) or the necessary adapter for NVMe cache. Check DSM version requirements and manufacturer guidelines to confirm support for SSD caching with the SNV3510-400G.
• Power down the NAS: Proper shutdown procedures help protect the drive and retention of data during installation. Unplug the unit and wait for components to cool before handling.
• Install the SSD in the correct slot: Insert the SNV3510-400G into an available M.2 22110 slot, aligning contacts and seating the drive securely. If your NAS requires a mounting screw or bracket, attach it to ensure the drive stays in place during operation.
• Power up and update software: Boot the NAS and confirm that DSM recognizes the new SSD. If available, apply firmware or DSM updates to ensure optimal compatibility with caching features.
• Configure caching in DSM: Open Storage Manager, navigate to SSD Cache, and choose to create a new cache. Select Read Cache or Read/Write Cache depending on your workload, assign the cache to the desired volumes, and monitor cache health and performance through the DSM dashboards.
• Monitor and tune: After caching is enabled, observe cache hit rates, latency improvements, and overall system throughput. Adjust cache parameters as needed to align with evolving data access patterns and workload peaks.
