I have a QNAP TS-212-E NAS, the drive Compatibility says to use WD20EFRX-68EUZN0 drives. How can I be assured the AMZ drive is WD20EFRX-68EUZN0?

From what I know, these drives are specifically made for servers. I used it for my Synology without any issues, and I don't think you will get any issues also.

It is displayed on amazons website as such. They cannot sell something else in it's place. What you see... is what you get. Rest assured.

None. It is only a shell with 4 bays to instal whatever HDD you want. We recommend you use the same HDD manufacturer, model and size. We typically instal four (4) HDD's of 4TB each, for a total of 16TB HDD capacity. Go to www.qnap.com, click on the model and then choose Compatibility and they will list all compatible HDD's you can instal to make up the system.

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

The diskless NAS does not have any drives installed in it. I bought the diskless thinking I would use the four matched drives I had in an existing server. That would have been perfect, but the drives were not supported by the EX4. If you have existing drives, and they are on the WD EX4 supported list, this would be a great way to make use of them. Otherwise, you might as well purchase with disks and have a single warranty covering the entire NAS and drives.

This WD drive works with the nomad rugged case, ASIN B00505EZZ6, $39.95 to protect it in extreme conditions, but for normal rugged conditions a Drive Logic DL-64 EVA HD Case (black), ASIN B003VVH8Y6. $9.95 w/free shipping, will do just as good. Check both then decide.

The NAS drives are more a hardware difference than software. Sure they may offer some enterprise features like secure erase in hardware, etc. but the real difference is the hardware. These drives are designed to better dampen internal generated and externally received vibrations. This design is due to the close proximity of the drives and the 24/7 operation. Check the specs and these drive typically rank between desktop and enterprise drives in terms of MTBF. They may have longer warranties as well. All-in-all it simply boils down to how much do you love your data? What is being stored on the NAS. Is it precious? I ran a DroboFS for two years with WD green drives. I replaced them with these drives thinking this was a better choice for my circumstances. The choice is ultimately yours.

It should. There is one drive that Synology shows as supported for the DS2413+ so far (the Seagate ST6000NM0024), but basically the fact that one 6 TB drive works means that there are no limitations in the HW (SATA controller chips, processor addressing limitations, etc.) or the most recent DSM software that would prevent other 6 TB drives from working. Folks on the Synology user forums are reporting that they are using various 6 TB drives successfully in various Synology models at this time.

Of course! The NAS works with both Windows and OSX based systems, and you can setup afp or smb connections to it. I use a part of the drive to store my Time Machine backup.

The largest drives this unit supports are the Seagate Constellation ES.3 (Model number ST5000NM0024) which is a 5TB drive. Filling every bay with these 5TB drives will grant you 40TB maximum storage in RAID0 or JBOD modes, but in order to allow redundancy (if a drive fails you don't lose your data) you will need to set it up as RAID 5, giving you 35TB of space (one drive is treated as 'parity' which means if another drive fails, that spare drive will maintain your backup data). To see all drives that are compatible with the unit, go to the QNap Product site, and click on the "Compatibility" link under "Products". From there, click on the 3.5" link and select the model you wish to see the drive compatibility of. It will give you a huge list of every drive manufacturer, and each model number of drive they have tested, verified works, and support.

It probably mean it is in O&M; package. It is like 'normal' HDD, just little bit slower to increase reliability so if you care more on reliability than speed it is good choice. I use two of these it in my NAS, and so far they work like a charm...

I'm not sure why QNAP would suggest Seagate drives, their failure rate is much higher than Western Digital or Hitachi. Just google for it, you'll see what I mean.

It probably has something to do with the memory modules that were used. I also tried the Crucial 2GB you are referring to and it failed in a QNAP TS-859 Pro+ unit as well.

I have the WD My Passport Ultra 1TB Portable External Hard Drive USB 3.0 with Auto and Cloud Backup - Black (WDBZFP0010BBK-NESN) and it works great with the Inateck.

Short answer...yes. The WD Red Series are meant for use in NAS devices and the WD Cloud Ex2 actually comes with them installed as an option. If you are getting the diskless version then these will also work. Not sure if your concern was more from using smaller size 1TB disks, but that is not an issue. The concern comes more from not exceeding the maximum disk size the controller can address...using smaller capacity drives will not pose a problem.

I don't think so but I have never worked with NAS. I use 2 ea 4TB external hard drives. It has two USB 2.0 ports for inputs. The DOS is rather old style and clunky. I can't see anything in the menu for anything but playing files from a HD. I would buy a better device than this one if I need to replace it.

Synology is compatible with almost every hard drive. As long as it uses a SAS interface and is 3.5 inch. But they do have a official list of compatible hard drives. Use this link: http://www.synology.com/en-us/support/hd

I am currently looking at the QNAP TS-653Pro. Do all of the QNAP products use the same software and have the same software capabilities? Is it only a matter of focusing on getting the appropriate hardware to make sure it can handle your needs.
