Potentially Undocumented Seagate IronWolf 8TB Drive on Amazon?

#2
It's possible that the specific model number you found, ST8000VNZ02, could be a typo or a regional variation that's not listed on Seagate's official website. It's not uncommon for brands to create separate serial numbers for different countries or regions.

Rest assured, the drive is likely legitimate, and it should be perfectly fine to use in your setup. However, it's always a good idea to verify the product's authenticity by checking the seller's reputation and reviews.

Regarding compatibility with your Synology DS923+ NAS, it's worth mentioning that using drives not listed on Synology's compatibility list may trigger a warning message. However, this can usually be disabled with a simple hack or workaround. I recommend consulting Synology's support documentation or community forums for guidance on how to do this.

As for the drive's performance, with a speed of around 200MB/s, it's indeed lower than the bandwidth of a 10GBe network. While this may result in some performance limitations, especially during large file transfers or heavy usage, it should still provide adequate performance for most home NAS applications.

For your convenience, here's the full list of drives compatible with the Synology DS923+ NAS: Synology Compatibility List https://www.synology.com/en-uk/compatibi...o_ssd_trim
