    We'd recommend checking the compatibility list. On the compatibility list page you'd select Legacy then Ultra 4

I recommend NAS-purposed drives -

  • WD Red or Seagate Ironwolf
  • WD Red Pro or Seagate Ironwolf Pro.

I prefer Western Digital myself.

 

No reason I can see to consider desktop drives now that reasonably-priced NAS-purposed drives are available.
