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.

For those who have been shucking the drive, is the procedure the same as the old style EasyStore drives?
Yep, it's the same. Four guitar picks / cut up credit cards on the side. One credit card to wedge out from the top

Thank you. Got five that I picked up a my local Best Buy last week. Replacing five year old 4TB drives in my Synology NAS with them. Taking forever.

I followed an old Youtube video from 2015-2016 for the EasyStore. It has two tabs on both sides on the sides. I added pics that show the location of the tabs.

Yes it is. Popped the drives out very quickly.

So I bought this because I needed an external HD for all the photos/videos on my laptop; I do not have a desktop. I also bought the 5TB that was just on sale which is much more portable. I realized 14TB is overkill for me personally but also recognize that you can never have enough storage.

Should I keep the 5TB Easystore and return this or use this as main, and the 5TB as the backup of the backup? TIA

Got mine today. Confirmed WD140EDFZ. Was able to shuck it with 2 old amazon gift cards cut in half somewhat easily. Installed into my Unraid NAS and it worked without any pin modification (my power supply is relatively old + using Lian-Li PC-Q25 with drive backplane).

It's replacing my Parity drive so it's currently under write load, and my other drives under read load. Temperature is 35-37 C. My other 2 WD Reds are 34-36 C
