You can use any drive that is on the compatibility list that is the same size or larger.
Use the forum search feature before posting.

Use RAID and external backups. RAID will protect you from disk failure, keep your system running, and data accessible while the disk is replaced, and the RAID rebuilt. Backups will allow you to recover data that is lost or corrupted, or from system failure. One does not replace the other.

NAS: TVS-882BR | F/W: 5.0.1.2346 | 40GB | 2 x 1TB M.2 SATA RAID 1 (System/VMs) | 3 x 1TB M.2 NMVe QM2-4P-384A RAID 5 (cache) | 5 x 14TB Exos HDD RAID 6 (Data) | 1 x Blu-ray
NAS: TVS-h674 | F/W: 5.0.1.2376 | 16GB | 3 x 18TB RAID 5

thanks for the reply
what if the cache of the Hard Disks are different but the RPM of Hard Disks are the same.
Here's the part Number of disks:
Western Digital WD3000FYYZ: 7200 RPM - 64 MB Cache
Seagate ST3000NM0033 : 7200 RPM - 128MB Cache

my current disks are Western Digital and i want to remove one of them and put a new Seagate Hard disk

Also note the speed of the array will be based on the slowest drive in the array.
