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.

Quote from beren12 :
No. In the USA opening a device does not void the warranty due to the Magnum-Moss act. Only if you cause the damage that broke it would the warranty be void. This was reenforced a few years ago. Noice the game consoles no longer have the illegal stickers.
Moss-Magnuson Act - it is usually invoked for refilled HP printer cartridges or going to Jiffy Lube. In this case, you are physically damaging the package the drive came in - so I don't see how your warranty stays intact under the MM rules. Most of these devices have a sticker that says "if you remove, the warranty is void".

What's the best way to check the model number without shucking? Mine just got delivered and was packaged horribly. Hopefully it survived, but I will have to run a complete check for bad sectors.

No… If you destroy the cardboard box the drive comes in that does not void the warranty either. Read this. https://www.digitaltrends.com/com...s-illegal/ These stickers have been missing on most devices since then. I wonder why?

WD - easystore 14TB ... is no longer available for shipping.
Sorry about that! You still might be able to get it if you check nearby stores for availability.

UPDATE: Went through checkout a 3rd time & now it shows available to ship & completed the checkout process.

If you watch movies with frontal nudity with Eva Green or Monica Bellucci, you're going to watch up close and NO it's not a placebo— you can tell the difference between remux and reencode. If you're watching Joker, 720p is fine.
I guess that's a valid use case. Or get a real GF LMAO

you run a HD utility like CrystalDisk and look for attribute 0x16 (in hex) = 22 (decimal) and this is the helium value. If it's 0, it's non-helium. But there should be a value for helium drives.

...The whole point of that law is the opposite of what you've just said. They have to prove that the modifications you made CAUSED the failure. Those stickers don't mean anything legally, and they're illegal in some places.

Picked mine up yesterday curbside. Got a good one too! NO errors in Crystal Disk Info. Be sure to check all your new drives guys/gals.

I see today my store is OOS till Mid November.

I got this drive: WD140EDFZ-11A0VA0

If needed, is a Molex adapter really a fire hazard???
I think the last part of that is your serial number and you shouldn't publicize it.

You should remove it too. If that person edits their post your quote will still publicize it.
