"INCOMPATIBLE with my NAS SYNOLOGY!
I bought this HD to replace 1 of the 4 existing ones in my RAID (same ref WD RED 3Tb) on NAS SYOLOGY which had faulty sectors.
I have always bought WD RED 3 TO SATA but surprise when I added this new drive to my NAS SYNOLOGY: it told me that it was "INCOMPATIBLE" and that it was not advisable to include this drive in the RAID!
On closer inspection, this drive is "SMR" and SYNOLOGY only accepts "CMR" drives.
=> You should therefore take the reference "WESTERN DIGITAL WD RED 3 TO SATA 6GB/S --> "PLUS" Until now the RED range was CMR and it's a shame that LDLC doesn't specify this change of technology (switch to "SMR") and doesn't direct you to the "PLUS" range.
Well... I tried to include it in my RED anyway, I hope it won't jeopardise my data over time... (I made a cron backup on my 3TB with 1 faulty mains just in case...)
