Frequently Asked Question

Owing to a technical limitation of certain Synology NAS models¹, the size of a single volume on such models is thus limited to 16 terabytes (TB). However, you can create multiple volumes on RAID with each one under 16TB.

Note:

1. For more information on the limitation of each Synology NAS model, please refer to the items of Maximum Single Volume Size and Maximum Internal Volume Number in its specifications.
2. If your installed drives using Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) have a total raw capacity greater than 16TB, please contact Synology Support Team for assistance to convert the single volume to multiple volumes on the SHR configuration.
