More HDD Compatibility questions - Enquiries - 07-22-2025
As a long time Synology customer, I have purchased several units and wanted to stay with the brand. However, I primarily used WD drives. Once I could see the writing on the wall that Synology was favoring their own drives, I started replacing my WD drives when they had a failure with Synology drives, so I now have a mix of WD and Synology drives. However, my Synology drives are all HAT3300 (and not HAT 3310) which seem to be the ones listed in the compatibility lists provided so far. So my questions are:
1) Will the Synology HAT3300 drives be considered as officially supported by Synology if I upgrade to a newer system.
2) If I decide not to go along with the Synology drive restrictions and go to QNAP for my next system, do you think the Synology HAT3300 that I have would run in the QNAP system since I don't see Synology drives listed on their supported list.
Thanks!
