I would like to use two 4TB SSDs in a Synology DS224+. Will that work?

Hello Hugibert

Unfortunately I have no experience with the DS224+, but:

Contrary to all opinions, I have installed 4 pcs in an RS815+, which is in video recording 24/7, i.e. continuous writing and reading.

In use for approx. 1/2 year, no problems so far.
How could there be, WD guarantees this performance!

The Synology is now X times faster!
Video search, rewind etc. is now a fraction of what it was before.

I can only recommend this to everyone.

The only disadvantage: migration...
With most Synolgys, you can't simply swap the HD drives for SSDs and then restore / or reconstruct a backup...
Synology usually wants a new installation for this change.
You have to check the manual or the forum to find out beforehand.

Thank you very much

Kind regards

Yes, I can confirm that. Runs in the same configuration for me ;-)
