I bought such an HD in January 2025. According to Digitec's proof of purchase, my warranty runs until Jan. 2027.
Yes, the Western Digital Red Plus WD40EFZZ is technically suitable for NAS operation and can be used in a Synology DS214play. The official Synology compatibility list does not name every single WD Red Plus variant, but NAS-optimised WD Red Plus hard drives run reliably in the DS214play in practice.
We work with different suppliers and daily prices. For this reason, the price of an item may be adjusted upwards or downwards over time.

I switched from a Red Plus 6TB to this one and I haven't noticed a difference. My NAS is in the living room (I'm very careful about the stuff I buy because of that), and I'm happy with the result.
The drive is quite loud. I only use it occasionally and it is installed in the cellar so not an issue in our use case.

Hello,
In my case, yes. When I ordered 2 discs in the same order, they were always 2 identical discs.

For better performance and for multiple simultaneous accesses to the NAS, I recommend hard drives with more cache, as the larger cache speeds up data processing and offers greater efficiency in the long term. The hard drives with less cache come from a different supplier and are more expensive in this case, as the price is set by the supplier and not by Digitec, as is the case with the products with more cache.
So I don't know what Dreammaschine and Protect App are. I can only say that I have been using 4 of these HDDs in 24/7 operation in my Synology NAS since 2011, i.e. for 13 years, and in this time only one has failed, and that was only recently. So absolute top quality.

can be connected without any problems. Cache improves read speed. I don't know your raid, but I'm sure you can answer this question yourself. Otherwise, see also "Uwe's" post.

For home use with a few cameras, a Red is certainly sufficient, the Purple only has advantages if many cameras write to the disk and you often evaluate the videos. Both are suitable for continuous operation.
