I've got a Synology Ds1621+ and I'm planning on getting 2x Iron Wolf 510 960gb. On the compatibility list Synology only show their branded NVme's. Would the Seagate still work?

[@TDSheridanLab]

I can’t say for sure because I don’t have a unit that came out after that change.
To actually block non Synology hard drives. Synology would have to do it in firmware. Which is a big undertaking. The big brands like Dell and HPE only block non manufacturer’s hard drives on their top tier storage devices($100k+). On their servers if you plug in a non Dell/HPE drive they throw up errors saying it’s not official but still allow you to use the drive.
On Synology’s web site they have the following wiggle room statements.
“Works Best with synology drives”
“Synology will not provide technical support if your device is not on the Synology Products Compatibility List”
I can’t verify this, but most likely standard hard drives still will work but you give up some support and warranty options in doing so.

Thanks for the video, but I would definitely suggest minimizing the sound effects and music a bit. They're kinda overpowering your voiceover.

[@TDSheridanLab]

Yep I’ll admit I over did it on this one.

Couldn’t watch because of the annoying and repetitive music in the background
