Our take on the Synology Activeprotect Appliance DP320 2x 8TB HDD Raid1

The Synology ActiveProtect DP320 is a purpose-built backup appliance, not a general-purpose NAS. It ships with two 8TB drives mirrored in RAID 1, so you get 8TB of usable protected capacity out of the box, plus 8GB of RAM and a 2.6GHz processor to run backup jobs and deduplication. It is aimed at small offices and IT teams that want an appliance-style backup target with Synology's ActiveProtect management rather than a do-everything server. Against a DS-series NAS it trades app flexibility for a locked-down backup role and simpler setup.

Pros
  • Two 8TB drives preconfigured in RAID 1, so one drive can fail without data loss
  • 8GB RAM and a 2.6GHz CPU handle backup jobs and deduplication
  • Purpose-built backup appliance with a focused management interface
  • Rack-friendly 3.5-inch form factor at under 9 inches tall
  • Synology ecosystem support and regular software updates
Cons
  • Only 8TB usable, and drives are fixed rather than a bare chassis you populate
  • Locked to backup duties, so it is not a media server or general NAS
  • 8GB RAM is not expandable like some Synology NAS models
  • No built-in GPU or heavy virtualization support

Questions and answers

Is the DP320 a NAS or a backup appliance?
It is a backup appliance built on Synology's ActiveProtect platform. It stores and manages backups rather than running the full range of NAS apps.
How much usable storage do I get?
Two 8TB drives in RAID 1 give 8TB of usable capacity with one-drive redundancy. If one drive fails, the mirror keeps your data intact.
Can I add more drives or upgrade the RAM?
The DP320 ships as a fixed configuration with two 3.5-inch drives and 8GB of RAM. Plan capacity around the 8TB usable figure rather than expecting later expansion.
What can it back up?
It is designed to protect PCs, servers and Synology systems through the ActiveProtect management console. Check the supported agent list for your operating systems before buying.
Does it replace a general-purpose NAS?
No. It lacks the app ecosystem and media features of a DS-series NAS. Buy it as a dedicated backup target, not as your only server.
