Hello Does anyone know why this HD is not compatible with Synology? (according to the compatibility list) Thank you very much
It works. I am using it with Synology.
The main reason is likely the noise level, and energy consumption if you have a very large NAS: enterprise HDD are designed for different specs, and NAS-specific drives have special features to make them quiet. In this specific case, it can take a while to spin up all the drives if they sleep and when they are working they are noticeable louder than my precious NAS-specific Ironwolfs
Synology makes their own HDs and SSDs which are of course the only ones certified for Synology NAS. Everything is available from Synology, WD, Seagate etc.
I have been using the hard drive for almost a year in the Synology expansion bay together with a DS916. Works without any problems.
