Bigmack3000 84 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 These are $100 off at bestbuy right now. I'm thinking of picking some up. Anyone ever use these in their synology before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceboy 2493 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Some reports on reddit suggest they are WD white disks inside, so therefore wd red. One guy says he used 4 of them and they all work fine https://amp.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/e0g9wt/easystore_12tb_on_sale_for_179_for_my_best_buy/ Go for it I say, never had any issues with mine but I’ve got only got up to 8tb disks in my Synology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5044 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I've always used WD Reds for many years and never had an issue. If that's basically what's inside then I say go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel 1113 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Worst case you may need to do the "tape mod". Google "WD white label tape mod" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmack3000 84 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Finally have time to shuck these tonight. Before I do I wanted to confirm that with an 1817+ I can insert new drives into empty slots without shutting it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8252 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) It says so Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk But the system data specs say "Hot Swappable Drives". Or is it just that drive? Edited December 11, 2019 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmack3000 84 Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 Yea, I figured it would be okay to do, but couldn't find a clear answer on adding additional drives. Only on swapping out a drive that goes bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
