DS920+ HDD Compatibility

[Enquiries]

I currently have a DS920+ which has one volume populated with WD 6TB Red drives. I am looking to upgrade volume size by replacing hard drives. I currently have a Sale going on for Iron wolf pro 18tb hard drives for 399.99 CAD almost 1/2 price. However synology does not list the 18tb drives in their compatibility list. I wanted to reach out and confirm if any testing has been done or any confirmation of the was known if the 18tb drives work in the DS920+?

i would hate to buy two drives open it up and find out the system doesn't recognize them at all and doesn't see the drives and cannot use them.

Thank you for any help.

People have tested 18TB and 20TB drives. Synology have stoped or slowed down with their HDD tests because they want to sell their own Toshiba drives.
New XS series models have introduced drive locking. But not home / SMB business models.

I hope this helps.
