Hi all, If anybody knows a reliable way to figure out if the currently shipping drives use PMR or SMR, please post an answer. I think it's worth mentioning that apparently all HDD vendors might be shipping SMR drives without disclosing it. https://www.extremetech.com/computing/309389-western-digital-seagate-reportedly-shipping-slow-smr-drives-without-informing-customers Perhaps Digitec team would be interested to do a research of this topic? I'm sure there are a lot of us (customers) who would appreciate it! All the best, Greg

There is no official way because the companies do not want to be all transparent. You have to find statements of the 3 companies. Because of the WD Red SMR "scandal", heise (de) did some more research and asked Toshiba and Seagate. They said that their NAS HDD's do not use SMT. read here, in the section "update": https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Manche-WD-Red-Festplatten-fuer-NAS-verursachen-Probleme-4703116.html That means of the dedicated NAS Hard Drives there are only these Disks using SMR: WD Red WD20EFAX WD Red WD40EFAX WD Red WD60EFAX me too, I've ordered a WD 4TB and have returned it now (it was within 30 days after purchase).

I would like to install this HDD (Seagate IronWolf 16TB, 3.5", CMR) on a Synology. What is the firmware version? Is the write cache enabled?

I have 5 of these HD's installed as Raid 6 in a DS1517+, firmware SC61, DSM 3.2.3-25426 update 2. Works flawlessly since 07/19

Didn't you have this product on sale 2 days ago for 439 chf? And now still under promotions but the price higher than the competition (+64 chf)! There is also no longer any promotion visible in the price. I just wanted to buy 3 pieces, but I just noticed it. You're just taking the piss out of people too. What a pity. I liked your old little shop in Zurich, not the wholesaler you are now (want to sell everything and nothing really).

By the way, I don't expect an answer from you. It will anyway be in the style of: the 60 pieces were sold out ...

Does anyone know if the 16TB "ST16000VN001" will work in a Synology model DS1813+? On the official compatibility list https://www.synology.com/de-de/compatibility?search_by=products&model=DS1813%2B&category=hdds_no_ssd_trim&p=1 only the IronWolf up to and with 14TB are listed. Is the list not up to date or does the 16TB variant not work?

@Digitec: Do they still have this promotion or is the available quantity already gone? Thanks for the AW.

I am interested in the 16TB Variate and have a question regarding the external enclosure. Does the enclosure have to meet any special specifications to run the 16TB?

Normally not.
