The Synology DP340 is a desktop ActiveProtect backup appliance — purpose-built hardware running Synology's ActiveProtect software to centralise backup and disaster-recovery for servers, virtual machines and endpoints, with immutable, air-gapped-style snapshots aimed at ransomware resilience rather than general file sharing. This unit is powered by an AMD Ryzen Embedded R1600 processor with 16GB of RAM, and ships with 4x 8TB hard drives in RAID 5 as its main backup repository plus 2x 400GB SSDs in RAID 1 for cache and metadata, backed by a 3-year warranty. It suits SMBs and branch offices that need a dedicated, self-contained backup target rather than relying on their production NAS or servers to also hold their own backups.
