Review on 💾 Efficient Synology 12 Bay RackStation RS2421+: Diskless Network Storage Solution by Eric Hartman

Please note that Synology has switched to a model that requires you to purchase their branded hard drives or a very small selection of third-party drives in the compatibility list (8TB max) if you wish full capabilities of your NAS. I installed 14TB Seagate EXOS drives and they were UNTESTED. I contacted Synology Support and they told me to switch drives as they are not listed. I believe that in the UNCHECKED state, the NAS does not read or report the status of the drive, which may result in data loss. As a long-time user of Synology NAS, many of which have been in use since 2012, this drive drama is not a good move when I'm switching to other brands. You lost me as a customer. EDIT: Went back to Revain as after creating and testing the volume the system was in an alarm state and no disk information was available.
