A 20TB CMR Plus-series drive when bay capacity matters; confirm the HCL row, DSM 7.2.2 build, and backup plan.
One 20TB HAT3320-20T · 3.5-inch SATA · CMR
This page combines the Plus Series datasheet column for HAT3320-20T, the April 23, 2026 product spec PDF, 2026-09-11 HCL rows, and dated US listings. We have not tested this drive. No original lab benchmark of HAT3320-20T was adopted. A self-bought Johor unbox (2026-05-08 arrival) confirms the HAT3320-20T 20TB label and tray install only. HAT3310 12TB/16TB user reports use a different HCL firmware package family (MG09 vs MG11) and are not this SKU's results. See evidence and test gaps ↓

Living with it
Synology compatibility, capacity and everyday use
01
Confirm HAT3320-20T on your NAS and DSM 7.2.2
This is the 20TB HAT3320-20T Plus drive. Sampled 2026-09-11 HCL internal-tray rows list it as published/recommended on DS923+, DS224+, DS1522+ and DS1825+, with a note to upgrade DSM to 7.2.2-72806 or later — a newer floor than HAT3310-16T. Recheck your exact NAS.[8][2][10]
02
Plan usable space from 20TB raw capacity
20TB is decimal raw capacity. Formatting and RAID/SHR reduce what you keep. Keep an independent copy of important files.[1]
03
Workload, speed and a different firmware family
Rated 180 TB/year and 295 MB/s typical maximum, with 1 GB cache. HCL firmware package is MG11_MN11_SATA_1401.ftd, not the MG09_MN09 package used on HAT3310-16T. Do not reuse 16TB HAT3310 user notes as 20TB measurements.[1][8][10]
04
Noise and merchant warranty displays
No controlled listening-room test was adopted. Manufacturer idle/seek dB values lack distance and weighting. The 2026-05-08 niat video is an unbox/tray install with a visible HAT3320-20T 20TB label; sparse authored captions, not full ASR, and no benchmark. Newegg's 2026-09-11 template showed a 5-year parts/labor line while Synology's sheet and warranty policy are 3 years from the receipt. Hardwareluxx 4TB 5400 rpm power/noise and CGM 12TB iSCSI CDM figures are other SKUs.[1][9][6][11][12]
What still needs a real-world test
We have verified the specifications, but have not found an original test that we can reliably apply to this exact model. The advice above follows the documented features; performance, noise and long-term reliability are not independently established here.

Live US pages reread on 2026-09-11
Newegg primary pane 2026-09-11: $819.99, Sold by Newegg, Add to cart, limit two, Free 30-day Returns shown; $0.01 ItemDetail shipping still needs checkout. B&H, Adorama, Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and Micro Center were blocked or unusable this round; dated 2026-09-08/10 rows stay historical.[6][3]
Budget for the complete storage plan
Include the number of disks needed for your array and a separate backup destination, not just the first drive.[1]
Check seller, warranty country and thermal policy
Synology limited warranty starts on the receipt date, follows the purchase country, and can end if the drive exceeds its published operating temperature.[9][1]
Include running costs
Typical drive power is 4.35 W active idle and 7.62 W at the specified 4KB Q1 random workload. Add the enclosure and other drives.[2][10]

Compatibility, capacity and backup questions
Does it work with every Synology NAS?
No. Check HAT3320-20T on the HCL for your exact NAS. Sampled Plus models listed it on 2026-09-11 with a DSM 7.2.2-72806 note.[8][2]
Is this an SMR drive?
No. Synology specifies CMR for the Plus Series, including HAT3320-20T.[1][2]
Can I use the 295 MB/s rating as a file-transfer estimate?
Use it as a manufacturer typical maximum. Network, RAID/SHR, file size and disk position change what you see.[1][10]
Is the warranty 3 years or 5 years?
Synology's datasheet and limited-warranty policy are 3 years from the receipt. A Newegg PDP showed 5 years on 2026-09-11; confirm what the seller actually provides.[1][9][6]
Can I use HAT3310-16T tests as a stand-in?
No. HCL firmware packages differ (MG11_MN11 vs MG09_MN09), cache is 1 GB vs 512 MB, and sustained ratings differ. Related Plus-series stories stay background.[8][1]
