Hi,
I've posted this on Synology forums (10 days ago) but seems nobody is interested or knows answer, so I'll ask here also if someone maybe knows.
Thanks in advance.
My Question:
I'm looking to buy new RackStation NAS and replace my current DS 1817+ and i'd want to go with more than 8 bays so i looked at RS2421+ which seems OK for my needs (except Synology being cheep stake and not putting 10Gbit on such expensive device) but main thing that worries me is that HDD compatibility list Synology started to include to enforce usage of only their branded HDDs?
All these years they were partnering with Seagate and convincing us how it's good to hove Ironwolf/IronWolf Pro drives and now suddenly those drives aren't good any more ? How come Synology ? What has changed that much in HDDs that they aren't good for your RS series any more ?
But weirdest thing is that RS 1221+ which has EXACTLY same hardware as RS 2421+ has all the IronWolf Pro drives (4,6,8,10,12,14,16TB) compatible while RS2412+ which is same internal (CPU and rest) but with 4 more bays shows them as NOT compatible ?
So please do anyone knows what is that different that RS2412+ can't work with IronWolf Pro drives now ?? Or it's just matter of not updated compatibility list for RS2421+ yet ?
Thanks
