Ds923+ HDD COMPATIBILITY - Enquiries - 02-13-2023
Hello sir,
Since I have decided to buy a NAS for home use, I have got precious information from your YT channel (numerous hours watching time)!!! I appreciate your time and effort to pass your knowledge and expertese to others!
So, my final decision goes to Synology DS923+ populated with 4X16TB HDD disks.
I am looking towards the following HDDs:
1) Seagate Exos X18 ST16000NM000J
2) Toshiba Enterprise Capacity Series MG08ACA16TE
I have chosen these, as they are the most VFM in Greece at this moment on the size.
Larger will go much higher on price, smaller no discussion.
My question is which one would be the most compatible to use on the picky Synology systems?
I am looking forward to reading your short reply on my question.
In the meantime I will search the sources you have quoted for more info but hopefully, you will be able to reply to me.
Thanks
Stelios

Any of these drives should work with plus series models. XS series may have very strict restrictions.
Toshiba might be more compatible since Synology are relabeling their drives and selling as theirs.
here is some more info
