The manufacturer means something like 1'000'000h MTBF https://www.seagate.com/www-conten...
e.g. me, since the bundle costs only CHF 199.00 😉
I can activate the write cache and by default it is also active ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The photos showing the disc with the tone arm (without cover) are for illustration purposes only. Hard drives are always protected. They would be too vulnerable without it.
75,000 MB/s corresponds to 75 GB/s. No hard disk in the world can do that.
You always have to distinguish between internal and external transfer rates. The external one is limiting here: 6 Gb/s (SATA III), which corresponds to 0.75 GB/s. This is the absolute maximum you can expect from the hard disk. From experience I can tell you that with a 'normal mix' of files over 10 min you will reach a maximum of about 23 GB/min.
However, I am very satisfied with the hard drives in my NAS.
However, they are not intended for a workstation or a gaming computer. There are other, more suitable products, mostly in 2.5" format or - better - SSD (NVMe).
It already works with a DS920+.
The Digitec specification list says it is the ST4000VN008 model. As it also says in the Synology list. The part you mentioned after the name is not actually mentioned by any dealer.
Only hard drives that have been tested and are therefore officially "recommended" by Synology appear in the Synology list. If a hard drive is not listed, it does not mean that it does not work with one of their NAS.
You can always wait, after all, everything always gets cheaper.
I bought WD Red Plus because I think the price is reasonable, the HDDs won't get any cheaper in the next few weeks.

I've purchased this a little less than one month ago from Digitec and the one I received is the VN001 model.

The ST6000VN001 is included in the following:

Hi, this should not be a problem, as the connection of the hard drives is backwards compatible. Unfortunately, however, the performance will not correspond to that stated in the specifications, as the connection limits some things here.
To be sure, you can check the compatibility list at either Synology or Seagate.
Simply select your NAS model and the compatible hard drives will be displayed. Inserted at the bottom left:

Durability and stability are important. That's why you should always buy the best. It is worth it.

Of course it will work. Any SATA disk can be used, it doesn't have to be the same brand or model. You can even insert a larger capacity disk, if the two are mirrored they will sync up to the original 4TB capacity, and once you replace the second with the same larger capacity, the Synology will automatically adjust the maximum storage capacity to match the installed capacity.
If it fits in the housing, then yes.
For me, it's photos from many years ago, and there's still space! Works wonderfully.
Why do you want to know that?
Unfortunately we don't have any more information on this yet, as soon as we know more we will gladly adjust this here :)

Notes
The hard drive is recognised as compatible according to the manufacturer, as others in the series have passed the compatibility test.
