I own beside another QNAP NAS an older TS-459 Pro+. Do these older NAS will work with these new drives? Are there principal incompatabilities inevitable?
Thanks for your ideas.

Re: New 8TB Disks coming up
I doubt this will be a problem. Your TS-459 Pro+ already supports 5TB and 6TB drives, so it is already past the "2TB" limitation of 32bit filesystems. Your TS-459 Pro+ does however still suffer from the 16TB "expansion" limitation. You can create a Volume of any size you want, but if you create any that approach or exceed 16TB in size you will not be able to expand them, except by Wipe&Start-again.horst98 wrote:I own beside another QNAP NAS an older TS-459 Pro+.

It is very unfortunate that QNAP no longer permits us to access the Product pages for "Archive" models. (I have complained to QNAP about this multiple times, but they simply ignore my requests that this information be provided on their "new" Website. (The pages are already written, so I don't understand why they can't do this for us)).

Thank you very much for your reply. I will now shop the first time in 30 years for Seagate drives
But I will look for a dealer who will accept returns.

Yes, I know the problems with Seagate first hand. I found the new stats from backblaze lately. Happy to have more than 90% HGST running. Seagate seems to be catching up. But WD is looking worse these days. Don't know, if I can wait for the HGST-drives showing up.

Re: New 8TB Disks coming up
Now I got four Seagate ST8000AS0002-1NAAR13 drives. They were accepted easily by the system. Formatting two as a RAID1 took 16.5 hours.
So far, so good.

Re: New 8TB Disks coming up
I trust that you are aware that Seagate does not recommend these drives for NAS/RAID applications. (Like I said already, no more Seagates (any model) here).horst98 wrote:Now I got four Seagate ST8000AS0002-1NAAR13 drives. They were accepted easily by the system.

Re: New 8TB Disks coming up
Due to missing ERC (TLER) no Raid usage allowed.
