I don't know about the Iron Wolf Pro's but the 24TB Exos drives I do. I have had 8 of these in the DS1821+ in SHR2 for about 3 weeks with no issues and yes I have 135TB of resultant storage and it is well used already with over 50gb on each volume already used.

hello, questions about workload. are these drives get longer lifespan if you use them at say half the workload rating or it doesnt matter. and does it affect the lifespan of it if you have say (4) 24tb into a nas but only have 30-40tb total data. does it prolong their life or not? ps: im a noob at this, cheers!

Hey will this work in older series Synology NAS? Like a js series or their other ARM based consumer units? I have two older js units I use them for my HTPC as backup and media long term online storage. I would use them as 1 big single 48TB dive as I already have 12TB of files. I think buying two of these drives now and using them then later upgrading the NAS will be more managable for me. Thanks for all your hard work.

Yes. Synology ds1821+ Plex Server. It’s time to replace a couple of the smaller drives. BTW, I’d like to see a short on replacing drives in a Synology NAS. Just a little confidence builder. I’ve added drives but never had to replace one.

18 TB drives still the sweet spot on price per TB. One to two times a year here in the States, the WD gold 18tb will go on sale for $299. That's when i grab one or two until next year. Other brands go $250-$270 on 18 TB on sale as well. I hope they keep pumping out larger size drives because that will probably push down the price of the lower capacities. Win for me. Then in 20 years when the drives fail I can start putting 50 TB drives in where the 18 TB drives used to be 😛

Wonder what rebuild time on this thing will be

96 TB? In a nas would you even be able to write to all those bytes before the EOL of the drives?

My various hdds of linix isos are over 24 tb. so ya it be nice to have that drive to condense everything

I have an unriad system with 15 bays. I am going to start upgrading all my drives to 24 Tb

I wish you'd test the rebuild time of the pool at these speeds and capacity. And drive speed varies. You seem to only mention the top speed from the inside of the platters. The more the drive is full the slower it is. Have you notice how slow it is at its slowest and how long it takes to fully write it? My guess is 36 hours which would be ridiculous

Going to go with 8x18tb and I can't wait for the prices on 30's to start to drop so 20-24's start dropping too. Hopefully in 3 or so years when I do my next rebuild they will cost what 18's are going to cost me now.

I’ve been unlucky with Seagate HDDs too in the past, but never with Western Digital. That’s one of the reasons I went with 16TB Ultrastars instead of EXOS for my NAS. I have friends that use Seagate because they had problems with WD in the past too, I guess it’s mostly ”luck”.

The concept of having too many eggs in one basket comes to mind.

Heres the thing. At my Canadian Newegg site, Seagate is running 16Tb NAS Pro drives for $429. And this 24Tb part is $654. The math there is not good, that 8Tb is going to cost me $225. I get that its new and drool worthy so they will ask for and get a premium ... but that price is going to come down some.

yeah I have a problem all right I Have 160TB usable space on my nas with the ability to add 32 of these if needed down the road

With BTRFS and soon BcacheFS, it just makes sense to always buy the biggest drive available to add to your array or to replace a failing drive. ZFS doesn't have that capability, but that's a huge defect. Say you have 6x8TB drives from 6 years ago. One drive fails. Replace it with a 24 TB drive, and your whole array increase to about where it should be by your normal addition of data.

1. Graphs of price per TB - where's the sweet spot 2. Price against speed 3. History of cost over time. What's the prediction for SSD to overtake mechanical? 4. Mixed set ups SSD + HD 5. Memory again what's the sweet spot for RAM with drives 6. Processors - sweet spot again. What if you encrypt? What if you compress? What if you de-duplicate? What's the requirements

I’ll wait until the price drops before going near my 1821+. With SHR-2 running I’d probably need to replace 4 to 6 of the current 12TB ones before I actually saw any additional available capacity,

Could you make a video about MEMS technology? It's the biggest development in sound reproduction in a century.

With all the 4k films and TV series I have on my 2 bay NAS, realistically in my case I think 16TB (8x2) would be sufficient. This may change later but I have been using a NAS for about 6 years now

What about noise level in this 4 bay NAS drive? Will the noise level be a linear increase from 8tb drives to 24TB drives? ore is the noise level similar between 12-24tb drives?

Just so many tests needed. So you buy your standard Synology DS923+ with 4 TB RAM and decide to expand with the 24 TByte Seagate drives with the 10Ge expansion. RAID 10 is sold as the best of both worlds of RAID 0 and RAID 1. What is the performance in RAID 10? Any significant performance change when you then play it 'Safe' and enable the Synology Antivirus by McAfee package? When reading the DSM 7.2 manual you see that 2x SSD modules enables you to create a Read/Write SSD Cache for improved performance. You read some more of the DSM 7.2 manual then discover you can configure the system to pin all Btrfs metadata to this SSD cache for even higher performance. Now what size M2 SSDs are required in the base of the DS923+ to support your set of four 24 TByte drives in this metadata cache mode? Now if you can't find a calculation by Synology for the size of the required SSDs, what is your best guess and what happens when you try using whatever SSDs you actually have available? What is the change in system performance with a Read/Write SSD cache? Actually I do have one DS923+ with a 10Ge interface that is now populated with 12 TByte Seagate Ironwolf drives in RAID 10. Wasn't what was planned but it is where it has landed.

I mean, why would anyone buy 4x 24TB HDDs for RAID5/SHR1 when they could have literally 2x faster 8x 12TB HDDs in RAID6/SHR2?

Yes density and less drives less power is king, but the resync time must be very long that i stick with 12TB drives. Refill one 24 drive with at best 260 MB/s don't want to imagine that.

And let's be frank, there's not that many drives to be tested, Seagate, wd/ultrastars, Toshiba, that's about it. Synology is a large company, they can afford it. What I see this is (a) a tool to promote own-brand drives (monopolization) and (b) a way to weasel out of support obligations ("your drive was marked as not compatible, mate, so it's your problem"). Like you said, there's not much about drives that would make a newer bigger drive different from another one that's on the qvl, so there should be no "compatibility" warnings as well, now should there?

CMR 100%. Use cases I could see: 6-bay ZFS RAIDZ2, single drive for a 1-off data migration backup, POSSIBLY a mirror, but you'd need to do some long-term testing. Triple mirror would be better - but then you're kind of wasting cash with the price on these drives, bc you only get to USE ~21-2TiB of storage (before compression) but you're paying 3x the price for reliability. At that point you might as well spend the extra to go with raidz2 and still have 4x drives for storage and 2 for parity.
