Hdd capacity limitations? - Enquiries - 02-28-2020
Hi! i have synology ds418 and i want to buy 4 HDDs ST12000NM001G 12TB each. BUT i took a look into the NAS manual and there is a table with fill called “maximum internal raw capacity” which is 40 TB (4x10TB) BUT the official synology site has a compatibility table where you can see that ds418 is compatible with larger capacities than just 10TB will there any problems if i’ll put these 4 HDDs into my NAS?
thanks!

Yes, you can use bigger drives. Synology mentions the maximum capacity of the time of the NAS release. This changes with new drives.I hope this helps.
