Hello,

I ordered 3x Toshiba MG08ACA16TE hard drives and was very surprised to receive 3x Synology HAT5300-16T hard drives today. I am aware that the Synology HAT5300-16T is the same hard drive in terms of hardware, but it has firmware that is adapted for Synology NAS systems.

Is this normal ? Or has it happened to other customers?

Answer

Be happy, in the shop the Synology are more than twice as expensive =)

Answer

No, that was not the case with me. But I've also had mine for >1 year.
