Does anyone have the inside scoop on whether it is safe to buy a DS1825+ and use WD Red plus drives? I checked the compatibility and chatted with support and they just pointed me back to the compatibility list. I know DSM 7.3 removed the drive restrictions. Thanks.

I have a couple of DS918+ running DSM 7.1.1. I don't have the option to update to 7.2 - for whatever reason. Synology appear to be saying its all over in 2025. No more security or other updates for me. I'm expected to junk these units and cough up for a couple more which will only have a five...
