He12 / HC520 Different Firmware

Post by wk170 »

I want to upgrade my QNAP TS-453A NAS with 4x 12TB HGST/WD HUH721212ALE604 (0F30144).

Two of my disks (older HGST He12) have firmware level LEGNT3D0, and the other two (newer WD HC520) are LEGNT925

Can those 4 disks, with different firmware levels, be put together in my QNAP TS-453A NAS (as "RAID5") without any issues/problems?

Anyway, would like to upgrade the firmware of my two older disks from 3DO to 925, is that possible?
TS-453A + TR-004
TS-659 Pro II

it's software raid ..as long as the drives are read/writable and dont have crippling hardware issues (e.g. SMR) they should work fine together
