Hey Everyone,

Its been about 8 years with my Synology ds1817+ and I'm running out of space so its time for an upgrade...

Does anyone have any first hand experience with loading up a prosumer NAS (6-8+ Bay) with the 28tb exos recerts from serverpartdeals? I'm a little hesitant because they are HAMR drives and there isn't a ton of long term testing but I'm a lot more concerned with compatibility, spending $2.8k on drives to find out I can't use them would be pretty frustrating...

I saw reports of success with the Syno 1821+ when enabling PUIS (I figure this makes sense regardless) but apparently the 571 expansions are a no-go...

I might just break down and build something but I really like the low power consumption of the appliances...
