I would like to buy the Synology DS1821+ or DS1621+ and run 6 x Toshiba MG07ACA14TE in Raid 6.
The Toshiba MG07ACA14TE is currently the cheapest enterprise hard disk (with 14TB) and costs around 300 euros retail.
The Blackblaze HD statistics show good values for a similar Toshiba model (MG07ACA14TA)

Synology's compatibility list shows this drive as compatible only with the DS1621xs+. However, this server is too expensive for me.
Does anyone have the combinations I want in use?
Alternatively, which disks are recommended for the two Synologys in Raid 6? I have the following Enterprise disks to choose from, but they are all more expensive.
Reliability for my company data is the most important criterion for me. I currently have 3 x 2TB hard disks from WD running in the Synology DS1511+, which have run for 89000 hours (without interruption in Raid 6) [WDC WD2003FYYS-02W0B0].
