![]() ![]() I did not bring up any mention of newb support issues like you suggest in your reply. I'm not a newb when it comes to these things, and I have bought/built/rolled out NAS & SAN solutions for business clients over the last three decades, so I do know a thing or two about these things. I've just dropped over $5K on a RS2421+ and several of these EXOS drives for our company. No one stepped on your tail for you to act up so viciously. So one would be left wondering then, is it because they want to promote their new line of rebranded HDDs and increase sales revenues to the detriment and expense of their customers? Or are they hoping we don’t notice these things and call them out on their shenanigans? In fact, these helium filled EXOS drives meet and/or exceed all workloads demanded by Synology’s NAS products. This HDD is compatible with their “other” models, so it is clearly compatible by their DSM OS, and older model series are also compatible with it according to Synology, so no one in their right mind can claim that this Seagate enterprise class HDD would not work with or would underperform or is unsuitable to NAS duties required by the ‘21 Plus series models. ![]() This reeks of anti-competitive behavior from Synology. Synology wants us to believe and accept that the rack mount form factor makes the same HDD on the same generation platforms that use the same CPU and run the same DSM OS somehow magically become unverified/incompatible, Right, Synology? /s So, while previous discussions about HDD compatibility focused on describing Synology's compatibility limitations as being applicable to the higher end XS/XS+ and higher lines, we're now seeing the lower end Plus series being impacted by this anti-competitive move from Synology.Ĭase in point, the Seagate EXOS X16 16TB (ST16000NM001G) enterprise class HDD is “compatible” with the ’21 series desktop form factor models DS1621+, DS1821+ that have the AMD Ryzen V1500B cpu, whereas the RS1221+, RS2421+/RS2421RP+, & RS2821RP+ models that all use the exact same AMD Ryzen V1500B cpu are now unverified/incompatible with this exact same HDD. ![]()
