I installed Seagate Ironwolf Pro in my Synology last night.
It complained it wasn't compatible.
If that drive isn't compatible than I don't know what legitimate criteria possibly could be.
(Yes, I get the criteria is "what we prioritized to test" but my point stands,it's the high end of consumer-available NAS drives, not a compute model or a shucked SMR drive:)
- immibis 1y agoIIRC it was official Synology-branded drives only. And they cost about twice as much as the exact same drives without the Synology brand.
- rcxdude 1y agoYeah, the NAS wants to talk to a customised firmware. Which is what made it so transparently a money grab: they were reselling drives with a firmware modification at substantial markup.
