Definitely compatible for the Synology

Only enterprise drives are listed for 16TB from WD.

I have them running in my DS220+ just in a lower capacity. I don't think capacity should make a difference considering I know the 220's will take 20 TB drives

Quote from 1BadBoy :
If using with a Synology, a WD feature will mark the drive with a warning at the three year mark!

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I watched a guy on youtube saying this happened after they had been powered ON for 3 years (as expected for a NAS).

Are you saying that it has - in effect - an "in service date" and it goes from that date, in which case WD is sleazier than I think they are?

What capacity are you running? Also, can you provide feedback on the noise level and temps at idle vs activity?

I have two 12's. The server is kept in an unused room now and I don't monitor temps too much. Back when I had the server under our TV, you could really only tell it was on when there was nothing going on in the room or very quiet dialog.

I have a security cam linked up so it's saving footage constantly as well.

These drives good for storing family vacation videos and 4k Drone videos long term?

IME going through their app is best. Buying this deal on their site has left me without cash back before even though I followed their referral link.

How long does it usually take for them to email the Cashback? I placed an order this morning but still haven't received anything.

Same price at Newegg and Western Digital, direct. Best deal I've found is to buy direct from WD via PayPal (12% cashback).
Is there any restriction which CC to use by Paypal? Is this one of those Disover deal or any CC is fine so long through paypal? Thanks

DS220+ do not support 20TB drives. and it does list WD 16TB (this drive) as compatible as well...
Things may work, but not officially supported. In case of any loss, Synology or WD is not going to help.
