Good Morning
I have a Synology DS420+ with a 3 drive SHR comprised of 3 - 8TB WD Red Plus drives. I would like to have a hot spare since we are on the road for weeks at a time and not around to handle a drive failure. If I use a low hours WD100EZAZ 10 TB drive that I have on hand will it use just 8TB of the 10TB spare or will I be locked in to 10TB or larger for future drives. I would like to stick with 8TB drives in the future.
Thanks.
