There is no official way because the companies do not want to be all transparent. You have to find statements of the 3 companies. Because of the WD Red SMR "scandal", heise (de) did some more research and asked Toshiba and Seagate. They said that their NAS HDD's do not use SMT. read here, in the section "update": https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Manche-WD-Red-Festplatten-fuer-NAS-verursachen-Probleme-4703116.html That means of the dedicated NAS Hard Drives there are only these Disks using SMR: WD Red WD20EFAX WD Red WD40EFAX WD Red WD60EFAX me too, I've ordered a WD 4TB and have returned it now (it was within 30 days after purchase).

75,000 MB/s corresponds to 75 GB/s. No hard disk in the world can do that. You always have to distinguish between internal and external transfer rates. The external one is limiting here: 6 Gb/s (SATA III), which corresponds to 0.75 GB/s. This is the absolute maximum you can expect from the hard disk. From experience I can tell you that with a 'normal mix' of files over 10 min you will reach a maximum of about 23 GB/min. However, I am very satisfied with the hard drives in my NAS. However, they are not intended for a workstation or a gaming computer. There are other, more suitable products, mostly in 2.5" format or - better - SSD (NVMe).

In principle, there is nothing to be said against it. However, NAS hard drives are designed for continuous operation. This means they run with lower revolutions, which is easier on them and advantageous from a heat point of view (the power consumption is also somewhat lower). The disadvantage of the lower rotations is that you have clear performance losses. So if you only want to use them as data storage, why not. But if you want to use it as system storage, I recommend a desktop hard drive or, if possible, an SSD.

If the external enclosure supplies enough power, I don't see a problem. I rather treated myself to the Synology C2 cloud storage. Then created a job in HyperBackup and now live worry-free. The backup is encrypted locally and then uploaded to the C2 Cloud.

Hi. You can find the Manufacturer No. by the specifications. It is ST10000VN0004 - and also listed as compatible for the tvs-671 by QNAP: https://www.qnap.com/en-us/compatibility/?model=159&category=1

https://www.synology.com/de-de/compatibility?search_by=products&model=RS3413xs%2B&category=hdds&filter_brand=Seagate&p=1 Is not in the list of compatibility of Synology ;-(( However, bet my left arm that it runs with the disk. I have a DS1817+ with 8x8 TB + DX517 with 5x6TB all WD RED and DS1815+ 8x6TB WD RED Pro and DX513 with Seagate Baracuda 5x4TB Am away from QNAP and completely happy with Synology - Greets r00tli2k
