Yes, the Red Pro is compatible with the Synology DS214play. According to the Synology compatibility list, the model WD4003FFBX (Red Pro, 3.5", 4 TB) is supported for this NAS system.
Thank you very much for letting us know. We will be happy to pass this on internally to the relevant department and hope that this will be checked promptly.
The Western Digital Red Pro hard drive is compatible with the WD My Cloud EX2 Ultra NAS, as it is designed specifically for NAS systems and supports the RAID configurations required for this device. WD Red Pro drives are optimised for NAS environments with NASware technology, which adjusts drive parameters to optimise performance in these systems.

I was able to do some research and according to the manufacturer's specifications, the 43883142 (WD8005FFBX) drive is slightly faster (267MB/s vs 235MB/s), more efficient and is built a little more robust, the rest should be the same. I have already requested the correction of our data.
The Western Digital Red Pro hard drive with product ID WD8005FFBX is compatible with QNAP NAS devices as it supports the SATA III interface used by many QNAP models. However, there is no specific information about compatibility with the QNAP TS-235 Pro as this specific model is not mentioned in the data provided. It is recommended to check the compatibility list on the QNAP website to ensure that the hard drive will work with the desired model.
The Western Digital "Red Pro (8 TB, 3.5", CMR)" hard drive is not officially compatible with the Synology DS224+ NAS, according to Synology's stricter compatibility guidelines for their newer models.
Synology has introduced a more restrictive storage media compatibility policy in its newer models, including the DS224+, which primarily recommends the use of Synology's own storage media and restricts support for non-Synology media such as the WD Red Pro hard drives.
The Western Digital Red Pro hard drive (18 TB, 3.5", CMR) with the product ID WD181KFGX is compatible with the Synology DS723+ drive.
- The hard drive uses the SATA 6Gb/s interface supported by the Synology DS723+.
- The 3.5-inch form factor is also compatible with the Synology DS723+ drive bays.
Yes, you can replace the Samsung HD204UI1AQ1 with the Western Digital Red Pro (WD2002FFSX), provided that your QNAP NAS fulfils the specific requirements and compatibility criteria for the WD Red Pro.
Here are some important points to consider:
- Form factor: the WD Red Pro is a 3.5-inch hard drive, which is compatible with most NAS systems.
- Interface: The WD Red Pro uses SATA III, which is a common interface for NAS systems.
- Operating mode: The WD Red Pro is designed for 24-hour operation, which is ideal for NAS applications.
However, it is advisable to check the specifications of your QNAP NAS to ensure that the WD Red Pro is fully compatible.
There seem to be delivery problems at the moment, and this model is currently not available from various other suppliers. As an alternative, I recommend the WD Ultrastar DC HC550 (16 TB currently CHF 278.00 compared to approx. 430.00 for the Red Pro). A better and more robust HDD in every respect at a much lower price with a 5-year warranty as well. It is objectively incomprehensible why the much more expensive consumer HDDs generally seem to be more popular than data centre drives like the WD Ultrastar DC HC550, the Toshiba MG08 or the Seagate Exos X16/X18. It is possible that many users fall for the "NAS HDD" label and believe that industrial drives (which used to be much more expensive) are not compatible with their NAS. The WD Ultrastar DC HC550 14TB even runs smoothly in my soon-to-be 8-year-old Synology DS414, although it is not listed on the compatibility list. But that's the end of it, the hardware doesn't seem to be able to cope with 18 TB.
Depending on what you need them for. WD RED Pro is designed for NAS. In other words, CMR is certainly not wrong for large and permanent writing activities. What would the application be for? Then we can possibly help you better.
I must correct rost, because he seems to have a gap in his knowledge:
A file system does not require any hard disk capacity. It merely determines how the data is organised on the disk. Correct is: HDDs with actually 18,000,000,000 bytes (18TB) are produced, because terra, giga etc. do not exist in the binary system. If you then calculate the 18 TB (with the many zeros) into the binary system, the result is as follows:
18,000,000,000 B / 1024 = 17,578,125,000 KB / 1024 = 17,166,137 MB / 1024 = 16,768 GB / 1024 = 16.37 TB. So your HDD is exactly the right size.
