About this product
This is a Synology HAT5310-20T 20TB NAS HDD, explicitly stated as "Defective." Despite its non-functional status, its specifications include enterprise-grade features such as hot-swap compatibility, a 7200 RPM rotation speed, 512MB cache, and a SATA III interface with a transfer rate of 268 MB/s. It's a 3.5-inch internal drive compatible with PC and NAS systems, and originally came with a 5-year manufacturer warranty, although its current defective state supersedes this for functionality. It is silver in color and described as having quiet operation.
Our take
Given this Synology HAT5310-20T is explicitly labeled "Defective," the $363.99 price point should be approached with caution. While it boasts impressive specs like 20TB capacity, 7200 RPM, enterprise-grade features, and a 5-year warranty (when new), its current state means it's not a working drive for storage. It could be useful for parts, diagnostics, or if someone has the expertise to repair it. However, as a consumer looking for functional storage, this isn't the product. The transfer rate of 268 MB/s and quiet operation are great features for a working drive, but irrelevant if it's defective.
