Clearly not, since 4x8 => 32.
I'm not sure if a single RAID-0 volume would work, but it is a very bad idea. If one of your disks failed, you'd lose all 32 TB of data, and you'd need to restore everything.
A much better approach (which will work) is to create 4 volumes of 8 TB each (one per disk). You then need to balance the storage across 4 volumes manually (creating the shares you want on each disk). That is quite simple when you have volumes this large.

Not the best disks for a NAS. If you like Seagates, I suggest you get Ironwolf drives instead.

Dear StephenB thank you for you replay.
64TB it was my mistake because i mean 32 TB hahaahhahhahaha sorry
So if I can use 4x8TB with my NAS i also can use X-raid with 2x2 disk's mirroring?! My last firmware is 6.7.4I'm also interested to know can i user 4x10TB nas hdd 7200 with X-Raid with my nas model: RNDU4000

If you use X-RAID single redundancy (RAID 5), then 4x8TB would be 24 TB of storage (~21.8 TiB)
X-RAID with Dual redundancy (RAID 6) would be 16 TB of storage (~14.5 TiB).
There other RAID modes - for instance RAID-10 would also give you 16 TB of storage. Performance is better than X-RAID dual redundancy (RAID-6) but the protection isn't quite as good. RAID-6 protects against all 6 combinations of two-disk failures. RAID-10 protects against 4 of those combinations.
4x10TB is also available in OS-6 systems. Though I don't recall a posting here from an Ultra user, as far as I know those disks are compatible with the ultra hardware.
Resync/Volume build time goes up as the volume increases, and it will take quite a while with big disks on the ultra. However, once built, it should work.
