Yes, they are listed on Synology's website as being compatible. https://www.synology.com/en-us/support/hd/model/DS1513+

I put 5 each 3tb WD Red drives in my Thecus and set up a RAID 6. I think you can use any number of drives of any size. Just keep in mind that if you use RAID it will only be a percentage of the smallest drive in the array.

Yes. I did exactly that when I purchased my Synology NAS. The BlackArmor NAS was a piece of crap, but the drives are fine and the Syno. NAS will play well with them.

The Synology website says that 6TB drives are supported. Check the drive that you are planning on getting with their list to be sure.

I am not sure of the model of drives you have but you can check it here at the link below.I have used incompatible drives before with no issue. Keep in mind compatibility just means they have tested and are sure that it functions the way it should with your NAS. http://www.synology.com/en-global/support/hd/model/DS413j

Yes, you can put up to 3 units of WD Red 3TB NAS Hard Drives in the Lenovo ThinkServer TS140, in a RAID configuration.

William, Yes you can, the diskless EX4 through the 16 TB EX 4 cases/software are all the same and will accept the WD 4TB drives

Yes, I have one built with 4x6TB WD RED drives in an 18TB RAID-5 volume. I was able to format it with GPT, NTFS. I tested copying files, and I ran a chkdsk /r to test the free space. Everything looks good so far. I am going to be using it soon to fill with data.

It depends on your user environment. 7200 rpm drives will be more responsive to a certain extent. However, slower spinning drives run cooler and require less power. Depending on your usage scenario you might benefit choosing either. You need to carefully assess what it is that you need to accomplish. There is an excellent review on anandtech that was published recently where multitude of NAS drives were put to the test. Every drive tested had redeeming factors. You might want to check it out.

Other have said this does NOT come with WD Red Drives. The WD model with WD Red drives is WD My Cloud EX2. WD 6TB My Cloud EX2 Network Attached Storage - NAS - WDBVKW0060JCH-NESN

NO. It appears that 1TB is the max size supported. The v1.06 firmware will support 1.5TB drives, but D-Link has been promising to release it since October 2008. See this post by one of their engineers on their support forum: http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=2663.0

Sure is - any 2.5" Sata HDD will do the trick. I do recommend upgrading to the WD Black rather than Bare. They're built better and have faster read/write speeds.

I am about to install a 6TB drive so I will let you know if I am successful but according to intel, it should be fine. The support of your HDD depends on the RAID card. This is a RAID expander and is only meant to extend an existing RAID controllers capacity of HDDs. This does not create a RAID array. UPDATE: I have installed my 6TB WD Red HDD and have no issues. Simply plugged it in, turned on my server, and it showed up in my OS (Linux Mint 17.1) without any issues. No configuration needed. Just plug and play.

According to Lenovo's website it does support 4TB. Seagate NAS HDD 4TB ST4000VN000, WD Red 4TB WD40EFRX, Seagate Barracuda 4TB ST4000DM000, WD Caviar Green 4TB WD40EZRX are all supported. https://lenovo-na-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/30797

It can use any drive, I use WD Red drives myself. Piece of cake to use and very very reliable.

I have used it with a 4TB nas drive (ST4000VN000). So, I know it should go all the way up to 4 TB.
