It's A Digital Disease!

I just bought a Western Digital DC HC580. I don't know an effective method to know if the drive is CMR or SMR. I have read here in the forum that I should buy a CMR hard drive to use with the NAS (I have a DS923+).

Another question, before setting the NAS should I introduce all the drives I would be using?

The NAS have 4 slots, so I guess the first step would be to buy 4 hard drive then set up the unit. I suppose If I insert 2 drives then the other 2 I would lose data.

Anyway, total noob here, please help
