Intel Xeon Power Meets 10GbE Speed

Workstation-Class Performance

The DS3622xs+ is powered by an Intel Xeon D-1531 6-core processor (2.2 GHz base, 2.7 GHz boost) delivering professional-grade computational capabilities for simultaneous multi-user access, virtualization workloads, and intensive data operations.

Performance Benchmarks:

• Sequential Read: Up to 4,719 MB/s
• Sequential Write: Up to 2,500 MB/s
• Random Read: 260,691 4K IOPS
• Concurrent Users: Hundreds without latency

16GB DDR4 ECC Memory (expandable to 48GB) protects against data corruption while maintaining responsiveness under heavy workloads—essential for mission-critical business operations where downtime costs thousands per hour.

Dual 10GbE Networking

Enterprise connectivity separates the DS3622xs+ from consumer NAS devices:

Network Ports:

• 2× 10GbE RJ-45 (high-speed backbone)
• 2× 1GbE RJ-45 (management/failover)
• 1× 1GbE dedicated Out-of-Band (OOB) management port

OOB Management Advantage: IT teams can troubleshoot and access the NAS even when the primary network fails or the operating system becomes unresponsive—critical for remote management and disaster recovery scenarios.

Massive Scalability: 12 to 36 Drives

The DS3622xs+ starts with 12 hot-swappable 3.5"/2.5" SATA drive bays, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and Synology's proprietary RAID F1 for flexible data protection strategies.

Expansion Capability: Connect up to two DX1222 expansion units (12 bays each) for a total of 36 drives in a single storage cluster—providing nearly 500TB capacity using modern high-capacity drives, all managed as one unified system.

Hot-Swappable Design: Replace failed drives without powering down the NAS, ensuring continuous operation during maintenance or drive upgrades.

Professional Applications

Virtualization Platform

The DS3622xs+ is certified for VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer, making it ideal primary storage for virtual environments. Run Virtual Machine Manager directly on the NAS to host and manage VMs without separate hypervisor hardware.

Synology High Availability (SHA): Pair two DS3622xs+ units in an active-passive cluster with minute-level failover—if one unit fails, the standby takes over instantly, ensuring zero business interruption.

Surveillance Station: 90 Cameras

Transform the DS3622xs+ into a professional network video recorder supporting up to 90 IP cameras from over 7,900 validated models. The system includes two free camera licenses with additional licenses available for expansion.

AI-Powered Analytics: Run deep learning features including facial recognition, license plate tracking, and behavior analysis directly on the NAS without requiring cloud subscriptions or external servers.

AES-256 Encryption: Locally stored footage receives industry-standard encryption, maintaining privacy and compliance with data protection regulations.

Active Backup for Business

Synology Active Backup for Business (ABB) provides comprehensive backup for Windows PCs, physical servers, virtual machines, and Microsoft 365/Google Workspace accounts—zero licensing fees regardless of protected endpoints.

Global Deduplication: Intelligent deduplication reduces storage requirements by 50-70% by storing only unique data blocks, maximizing capacity efficiency while enabling longer retention periods.

Ransomware Protection: Immutable snapshots and version control protect against encryption attacks, enabling complete system restoration to pre-infection states.

PCIe Expansion Flexibility

Single PCIe 3.0 x8 Slot

The internal PCIe Gen 3.0 x8 slot accommodates expansion cards for enhanced connectivity or storage acceleration:

Network Upgrades:

• Dual-port 10GbE or 25GbE NICs for increased bandwidth
• Fibre Channel adapters for SAN integration

NVMe SSD Caching:

• Synology E10M20-T1 or M2D20 adapters add dual M.2 NVMe slots
• SSD caching dramatically accelerates random I/O for databases and VM workloads
• Read/write cache modes optimize performance based on application requirements

Browser-Based Management

DiskStation Manager (DSM) provides comprehensive NAS management through any web browser—no proprietary software installations required. The intuitive interface simplifies complex storage administration for IT generalists while offering advanced features for specialists.

Key DSM Features:

• File sharing (SMB, AFP, NFS protocols)
• User/group permission management
• Snapshot replication for disaster recovery
• Cloud sync with major providers
• Mobile apps for remote access
• Docker containerization support

Common Questions

Do I need to use Synology-branded drives?
No—the DS3622xs+ works with any SATA HDD/SSD. While Synology recommends their HAT5300 series drives, standard enterprise drives (Seagate IronWolf Pro, WD Red Pro) function perfectly. Using non-Synology drives may display a warning message in DSM but doesn't affect functionality.

Can I upgrade RAM myself?
Yes—the DS3622xs+ features four SO-DIMM slots (two occupied). Adding two 16GB modules increases capacity to 48GB total. Use DDR4 ECC memory for error correction protection.

Is NVMe caching worth it?
For database servers, virtual machine storage, or applications with heavy random I/O (small file operations), NVMe caching provides 3-5× performance improvements. For sequential workloads like video editing or file archiving, benefits are minimal.

What's the difference between DS3622xs+ and RS3621xs+?
The RS3621xs+ is the rackmount equivalent—nearly identical specifications in a 2U server chassis designed for rack installation. Choose DS3622xs+ for desktop/tower placement, RS3621xs+ for datacenter racks.
