DS1522+ hdd compatibility question

[robw92]

I'm looking into the ds1522+, and would like to start with a couple of 16tb hdds. Without getting totally lost in the compatibility list, does anyone here have suggestions regarding safe choices?

Thanks in advance

1621+ seems to have a longer list. Thoughts?

1621+ seems to have a longer list.

Any NAS/Enterprise-rated SATA3 drive will work IF it is not on the INcompatibility Models list for your NAS.

Avoid SMR technology drives (for example, WD EFAX).

Where is the INcompatibility list located?

Go to your Compatibility List for drives... You'll see a link near the right-most column... "Incompatible Models".

I'm running my 1522+ on the 18 TB DC H550 WD Ultrastar. Highly recommend. (16 TB is available)
