Have a synology ds923+. Haven’t got the drives yet or the nvme drives.

What is everyone using or suggest. Obviously synology want you to buy theirs but prices are jacked. Also not sure how anal they are with suggested compatible drives

I’ve had an older DS918+ for a few years. I’ve got Western Digital Red NAS drives and Samsung NVMe drive in mine and haven’t had any issues with those.

I’m a complete mine to this. Are nas drives designed diff than normal ones??

There are some differences. The NAS drives are in theory optimised for use in a NAS RAID array with their firmware and hardware design and you may get longer life out of them. I’ve never tried running standard desktop drives in my NASes to know whether it really makes a real difference though.

Anything “enterprise” grade is better than consumer grade. I have a bunch of Seagates but can’t remember what.

They have a compatibility list on their website. I bought the seagate ironwolfs per nostr:npub1wtuh24gpuxjyvnmjwlvxzg8k0elhasagfmmgz0x8vp4ltcy8ples54e7js recommendation and they were on sale 😅

That have become a bit more anal about it recently. WD reds may work, but it’s not a guarantee if you run firmware updates (which may be automatic).

If you do try off the list drives, don’t exceed the maximum capacity of the ones listed on the compatibility list. I’ve tried that, and they definitely did not work.
