Hi everyone,
We have been caught out with purchasing a RS4021xs+ populated with Seagate 16TB ST16000NE000 drives.
The disks do detect and show as Allocation Status : Initialized / Health Status : Healthy. But the drives are showing as Incompatible and storage manager will not allow for an array to be created. Previously these worked with the RS4017xs+
We are running DSM 6.2.3-25426 and older versions do not look to be available. (thinking it may be a firmware restriction to force the use of Syno drives.)
Before we switch to a different vendor so we can utilizes our 16 x 16Tb drives, does anyone know if it is possible to bypass the compatibility check?
Many thanks,
