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...
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).
I have 5 of these HD's installed as Raid 6 in a DS1517+, firmware SC61, DSM 3.2.3-25426 update 2.
Works flawlessly since 07/19
By the way, I don't expect an answer from you. It will anyway be in the style of: the 60 pieces were sold out ...

Is this your 2nd HD for data or is the operating system on it?
If the 2nd HD is for data, simply plug them both in at the same time, so you have 3 and simply transfer the data!
If the operating system is on it, then disconnect your old one, attach the new one and install the operating system and then you can connect your old one as a slave.
I recommend an SSD for the operating system! That is the cleanest and fastest!
200 GB is more than enough for an SSD, you can get it for free, otherwise a somewhat larger one!
You have to make partitions out of a 6TB anyway if you want to put the operating system on it! Otherwise the size is not so cool with mixed data!
Unfortunately, the quantities offered are already gone.
I don't know, I am registered as a user with Seagate (with several 12TB HDDs). But the communication is simply bad - as with WD, unfortunately.
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.
According to the data sheet, the 2 years are a recording error (3 years are correct) https://static.digitecgalaxus.ch/Files...
Please contact customer service so that this can be corrected https://www.digitec.ch/de...
You need a DS216+ or DS216+II or higher, the DS216j doesn't recognise the disk, maybe a fireware update will help, but better check with Synology first.

This is the recommended number of operating hours of the HDD per year. This means 100% or, as you have already assumed, continuous operation. However, always consider the value in connection with the workload rate of 180TB (for this HDD).
PS: In comparison, a BarraCuda, for example, performs 2400h/year at a workload rate of 55TB.
