Have four of them in the NAS just under my desk, I wouldn't have heard them click muffly or vibrate excessively when booting up now (but hardly ever reboot them).
Have you already looked in the compatibility list at Synology to see if the disk is in there? it could be that this disk (this type & size) is not on it. I have no problems with the disks themselves, but they are also in self-build nas.
Geizhals.eu lists the drive as CMR - I can't say 100% for sure if that's true. But I have no reason to doubt it. So far I have had no problems with it, but it is also used as RAID0.
The cache is 256 MB, the storage technology is CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording) and the hard drive is filled with helium. The maximum workload rate per year is 550 TB and the maximum internal transfer rate is 261 MB/s. The speed is 7200 rpm and the interface is SATA 6 Gb/s. The speed is 7200 rpm and the interface is SATA 6 Gb/s. These data correspond to the specifications of the Seagate Exos X16 series with 10 TB capacity.
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.
We offer the version you are looking for
Seagate IronWolf (8 TB, 3.5", CMR)
Due to the problem with counterfeits in Europe, there is currently no availability, so this variant cannot be offered.
Yes, this 2 TB HDD can be used with the DS218j. "Third-party manufacturer" must be selected in the drop-down menu. The manufacturer number, ST2000VN003, is then displayed in the list: https://www.synology.com/de-de/compatibility?search_by=drives&model=DS218j&category=hdds_no_ssd_trim&display_brand=other
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.
Yes, depending on the raid configuration, this is possible or you will destroy everything. With a mirrored RAID you can do this step by step by first swapping a hard drive for an 8TB. As soon as the RAID is intact again, you can swap the smaller disc for an 8TB. This will not work with a striped RAID. If the disks are not set up as a RAID, you can swap them and copy the data if necessary.
The actual RPM of this hard drive is 7200 RPM. This is a known display error on our part. We are working to rectify the problem as quickly as possible.
Hello, yes it should work. More info can be found at Synology: https://www.synology.com/fr-fr/compatibility with the disk supplier model number "ST12000VN0008".
Much cheaper at Galaxus.DE? currently the hard drive costs EUR 240.- there, at Galaxus.AT even EUR 250.-

Seagate IronWolf (12 TB, 3.5", CMR)
Galaxus Switzerland and Galaxus Germany buy completely separately and therefore have different conditions.
I have a *Synology DS418j* NAS and have 2 of the hard drives installed at 2x https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/seagate-ironwolf-10tb-35-festplatte-5961183 and since I installed the last one and my data is now on all 4ren it spacks around, I don't know why, can it be that the two hard drives are not compatible with my NAS ? or with the other two hard drives ? So it loads slowly, opens the folder slowly and before I could watch a movie over the NAS without any problems, now it hangs all the time and reloads, but when I go into the NAS settings it says "Ram 45% and CPU 14%" utilization in the resource monitor, can something be wrong ...?
Why don't you offer the 5400 RPM version (ST8000VN002)?
It would be a little quieter (26 instead of 32 dBA) and, above all, would have almost halved power consumption (5.3 instead of 10.1 W).

As a private user, I am more interested in the power consumption and noise level than the throughput, which is also almost identical!
The only disadvantage I can see: Idle mode has 1 instead of 0.25W. However, since my disc is spinning 24/7 anyway because of Docker, this is not relevant for me.
Replacing 4 together has the disadvantage that they are probably all from the same batch. It wouldn't be the first time that after a disk failed in RAID5 and was replaced, the next one gave up the ghost during the massive accesses for the reorganisation. Basically, all 1 SG and 3 WD run together, the only question is how the disk array is organised. For example, I have 2 NAS in 2 places that back up the same data independently of each other. 1 of them has only 1(!) of 4 slots occupied at the moment (it's brand new, only got RAID 1 a few months ago), the other 2 of 2 (RAID 1), whereby I regularly steal a disk from it and store it in a third place.
