Are there known issues with WD Red Pro 20 TB drives wrt Mini X+? I found this thread from Aug 2023 (can’t put a link here… the title of the post is “WD Red Pro 20/22TB - qualified?”, it is from “Perry The Cynic” started on Aug 23, 2023).
But since then only 22TB were approved and 20TB were not. Is there a particular reason for that?
I am thinking of migrating from Synology. I originally bought four WD Red Pro 20TB drives for it without realizing that they are incompatible with the Synology’s NAS. It ran fine for a while, but eventually there were too many instabilities for my taste.
Now that I’m thinking of switching, I want to understand if it is better for me to get compatible drives. But it is fairly expensive to upgrade all four drives, so I want to
gather feedback first. Appreciate your opinions.
Thanks,
Andrey
