Synology Disk Drawer D1 for Storage

The Synology HDD tray model D1, part number 90-DTD101Z31, is a specifically designed component intended for use with Synology NAS (Network Attached Storage) systems. This tray is engineered to securely hold a single hard disk drive in place within the chassis of compatible Synology devices, ensuring proper alignment and stability during operation. It is constructed from durable materials that provide both structural integrity and thermal efficiency, helping to dissipate heat generated by the drive during extended use.

The tray features a precise fit for standard 3.5-inch hard drives, accommodating both SATA and SAS interfaces depending on the specific drive model. Its design includes anti-vibration features that reduce mechanical noise and minimize potential data corruption due to excessive movement. The tray also incorporates a grounding mechanism to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), which could otherwise damage sensitive internal components of the NAS system.

Installation of the HDD tray is straightforward, as it is designed to snap into place within the designated bay of the Synology enclosure. This ensures minimal downtime during maintenance or expansion tasks while maintaining secure internal connections between the drive and the motherboard. The modular nature of this tray allows users to easily replace or upgrade storage components without affecting other installed hardware.

In addition to its physical attributes, the HDD tray supports various Synology DSM (DiskStation Manager) features by maintaining consistent electrical contact with the motherboard through properly aligned connectors. This ensures optimal performance and reliability when managing data across multiple drives in a RAID configuration or other storage pooling arrangements.

The 90-DTD101Z31 HDD tray is an essential accessory for any Synology NAS user looking to maintain a stable, scalable, and efficient storage solution. Its combination of durability, compatibility, and ease of use makes it an ideal choice for both personal and professional environments where data integrity and system reliability are paramount. Whether used in home media centers, small business servers, or enterprise-level deployments, this HDD tray offers a reliable foundation for expanding storage capacity with confidence.
