SHR always uses one drive with the largest capacity for parity, so putting one 14TB in won't get you anything more than what the Synology has now. You will want to buy at least two 14TB drives. Replace one drive, wait for SHR to rebuild, then repeat with the other new drive. You will end up with 2TB more than current. If you were to replace all four 12TB drives, you would end up with 6TB more than current.

The golden question, what's inside?

Extended returns in effect if you're on the fence.


Purchases made October 13, 2020 through January 2, 2021 have an extended return period through January 16, 2021

These won't get lower. BB does this every year, they offer the BF pricing a few weeks ahead of BF and then again at BF. I buy their BF special drives every year and upgrade both my servers and sell off the drives from the year before. It's the exact same scenario every time. This year it's the 14TB. Last year was the 12TB, 10 before that and 8 before that.

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".

Quote from blackatom31 :
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.
