As you're in the process of upgrading your NAS, the DS1621+ seems like a solid choice. Since it has been 15 years since your previous NAS purchases, you can now take advantage of installing larger drives. You've opted for the 6 x Seagate ST10000NT001 10TB IronWolf Pro 3.5" SATA NAS Hard Drives, as you're seeking a change from WD due to reliability concerns. While these specific drives may not be listed on Synology's compatibility list, they are still part of the IronWolf series. In my opinion, it should be possible to install them in the NAS and use them without any issues.
