DS1825+

well - Synology has removed the DS1821+ from their website, so I cannot tell you what is the largest supported drive. On the current models - DS1823xs+ and DS1825+, they are only officially supporting Synology drives, not Seagate or Western Digital or Toshiba. There were some drives that were suppor

you are not doing anything with a 4 drive NAS. the suggestion below of the 1821+ is a good suggestion if the DS1821+ was still being made, but today it's the DS1825+ or DS1823xs+. And for these models, you have to use Synology branded drives, which are double the price of a Seagate EXOS or Western D
