Synology's flagship PAS7700 storage solution - 2M 4K random read IOPS, up to 1.65PB of data

At Computex 2025, Synology debuted its new flagship product for businesses - the PAS7700 storage solution. With what the company is calling "active-active" NVMe all-flash storage, it's designed for high-performance and "mission-critical" workloads. And when it comes to capacity and speed, it's something of a beast.

The Synology PAS7700 features 48 NVMe SSD bays in a relatively compact form factor (a 4U chassis) and can scale to 1.65 PB of capacity. 1.65 PB or Petabytes translates to an impressive 1650 TB or Terabytes, but that's just part of the story. The PAS7700 also features an AMD EPYC processor, redundant memory (up to 2TB), and support for 100GbE networking.

Optimized for the most demanding environments and workloads, the PAS7700 leverages flash's enhanced speed for ultra-low latency, up to 2 million 4K random read IOPS, and 30GB/s 64K sequential throughput.

Now, a lot of what you've read so far is a string of impressive numbers, but during Synology's briefing, where it announced the new PAS7700 storage solution, we got to see a couple of demonstrations of the system in action. The one that immediately stood out was a screen showcasing dozens of virtual Windows machines all booting up sequentially and getting to the desktop simultaneously (give or take).

The Synology PAS7700 on the showfloor included 8TB Synology-branded U.3 SSDs.

"PAS7700 is the culmination of Synology's 25 years of engineering experience in data management and storage," said Kenneth Hsu, Director of the System Group at Synology. "By combining our deep software and hardware development expertise with close collaboration with partners and enterprise customers, we've engineered PAS7700 to deliver ultra-high performance at a price point previously unseen in the enterprise storage market."

Although we'll have to wait to get the full pricing and exact availability information, Synology is considering a potential release sometime in the second half of 2025.
