Installing two Qnap Raid 1 drives in a Synology NAS

I was wondering if the continuity of Raid extends across the board to all NAS? I know installing hard drives are compatible to all mfg of computers and motherboards.

If you do that, the drives will be overwritten, and then you can begin your Synology voyage with a fresh install.

I guess it is like "Apple deciding that you can not charge Apple devices with a standard USB, you have to use their proprietary charging cable", or maybe Home Depot saying if you buy a hammer from HD then you can't use nails bought from Lowes. I have always hated the guy who designed the original USB plug making it polarized for no good reason...50-50 chance of trying to connect it.

This is simply an incompatibility issue - hard drives formatted for use in a QNAP NAS cannot simply be moved over to a Synology device without being reformatted. Two completely different devices and operating systems.

To be expected... you can't move Windows drives into a Mac, or Arch Linux drives to a Synology... or...

There should be no expectation that QNAP drives would run in a Synology NAS, or Synology drives run in a QNAP unit... or elsewhere.
