Edit ok I see the 2 year warranty. Never heard of this brand. Anyone heard of it?
Also keep in mind, SAS and not SATA (I know title says SAS)

Does this means it wont work for synolgy nas?
Only SATA will work in a synology I believe.
It has to do with the backplane having a different connector. See the link below for the differences between SATA and SAS.

And it's worth pointing out again that these drives are SAS, not SATA. If you don't know what SAS is, then it's unlikely you can use them.

I can't speak to the voracity of the comments below stating the company is "scammy" but they are a division of Server Part Deals and I've bought drives from them for years too and had very little issue. RMAs through both entities have always been handled quick and without incident and I've never had DOA drives, although I have had failures within warranty periods.
I sorted by Seagate Exos as that's the most common type of drive these are rebranded from, typically X18s.
Currently doing an RMA via Amazon renewed and 2 replacement drives are inbound... will report how that works out once it's done.
