Which Synology NAS models support data deduplication?

• FS6400, FS3600, FS3410, FS3400, FS2500
• HD6500
• SA6400, SA3610, SA3600, SA3410, SA3400
• RS4021xs+, RS3621xs+, RS3621RPxs

Requirements:

• Data deduplication is only supported on Synology SSDs and Btrfs volumes. You need to create a storage pool consisting entirely of Synology SSDs and then create at least one Btrfs volume.
• Data deduplication can only run when the volume status is Healthy.
• Data deduplication requires you to Enable usage detail analysis for the Btrfs volume.

Notes:

• RS3621xs+/RS3621RPxs and FS2500 need at least 16 GB of memory to enable data deduplication.

Undocumented models that support data deduplication

DiskStation models that support Tiny Btrfs Data Deduplication in DSM 7.2.1

• DS1522+, DS1621+, DS1621xs+, DS1821+, DS1823xs+, DS423+, DS723+ and DS923+.

These models have "tiny btrfs data deduplication" enabled and only need 4GB of memory or more.

In my test on a DS720+ with only 2GB of memory I got a message saying at 4GB of system memory was needed. https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/18oyu21/data_deduplication_only_needs_4gb_of_memory/
