Hi.
I'm thinking of upgrading my TS-412 Qnap Nas with 4x4Tb WD Red drives (WD40EFAX).
Those are not in compatibility list at https://www.qnap.com/en/compatibility/? ... category=1 but shouldn't they fit just fine as Nas Drive series from WD?

So, WD40EFZX should be fine then?
16 Tb limit is ok, I have them in RAID5 at the moment.
