Thanks and sorry I was the one lol. I have a plex server and currently have a full 8tb and needed to upgrade. I just plug it into the back of my gaming pc and leave it on 247. Is there a better route to take than that?
No need to apologize. I didn't know that term either and have worked in IT for 25+ years. The reason I didn't know; it's not a thing. Shucking is a general term used for all kinds of things where an outer shell is removed; e.g. corn or oysters.

In the professional IT world it's called "removing the drive from it's enclosure".

Because these are actually Western Digital Red drives, retailing for $400+. They're designed to work in a NAS (network attached storage) and enterprise environments. Most of us are shucking them to put into our NASes. Also, if you have the space in your tower, may as well make it an internal drive instead of cluttering your desk space with more external drives.
This are Red Drives? Where is the source of this info?

Do we know if we can put WD140EMFZ or WD140EDFZ into the Synology Disk Tray D6?

Is the WD140EDFZ or WD140EMFZ both missing the middle screw hole?

The tray D6 seems to have the middle plastic holding stick out of the side to put in the middle hole...

Thanks!

Does this drive cycle down or is it constantly spinning?

Head over to r/DataHoarder on reddit and see.
I've shucked several EasyStores. Sure they're white label but you can run "smartctl" from a linux command line to look at the actual device model and firmware version. They're running the same firmware as the Reds, and they'll be Helium filled drives. People with actual Reds can confirm all the data in smartctl is identical.
