Synology HAT3300 4TB Plus Series SATA HDD 3.5" (HAT3300-4T)

We got this hard drive for our DS224x. It’s been working great. It can get loud when we initially backed our devices up but we put it in a place where it’s negligible so it’s perfect for us. Very easy to install, booted up quickly. It’s a little more expensive than other brands but we didn't want to have to think about updating the software with 3rd party apps so we just went with the Synology brand for a $20 difference give or take. Connects to our WiFi no problem. Satisfied with my purchase.

Nice for home network storage. Have not used for a small business as I may do. It has a lot of features which naturally require a lot of reading but the manuals are good and written by English speaking authors. I have been been able to utilize without a lot of fighting with lousy manuals.

After 37 years of IT support as a MSP owner I know the value of HP drives in HP server with central firmware updates from BIOS to ILO to Array controller and drive firmware all being updated and managed by one vendor. SO, with that enterprise mindset in place these Synology drives are a nice upgrade to Synology NAS's since they add the firmware maintenance and control back to a single vendor. I have not had issues with other enterprise drives, but I know this in the end makes things more stable. The price is slightly higher but the value proposition is also higher too.

A good range of storage capacities, 12TB was perfect for my needs. Well packaged and arrived on time. Addresses the issue that Synology introduced with the compatibility requirement for HDD to be used by their NAS and current version of DSM. In my case I was not able to do a normal drive replacement, it would not work. Be sure to do a complete backup of your data and NAS configuration if you are replacing HDDs in your current NAS. HyperBackup worked perfectly for the backup and restore.

Other than the delayed delivery...this product works well. Using in a Synology NAS

When one of my four WD Red drives failed, I decided to go all Synology and never looked back.

OK, I used to have an old 1 bay diskstation which I just filled w/ whatever spare drives I had. Never any trouble, probably ran for 13 yrs w/ various drives demoted from my internal pc bays. Now i have a new synology 2 bay, and had endless trouble using spare drives in it. Reds were just unusably loud. Random spare pc disks consistently failed power on regularly (but only in the DS). In desperation, I got these synology branded drives and everything just works. So, I guess times have changed. Fortunately, these are quiet, work, and aren't even at a horrid premium as I expected them to be. So, I could have saved myself a LOT of time and a little money just going with these from the start, I guess, instead of trying to be cheap. Mixed feelings about that, tbh, but these work, are quiet, and reasonably priced.
