You have to ask directly in your order that you want imperatively different serial numbers.e longer because they will have to repatriate discs in their digérants shop and to sort out according to your request but as you wrote it it is possible that you already doubt the answer now it is up to them to satisfy the customer.. or not ...

Could this be the SAS version? The SAS interface is usually used in servers and this disk is available as a SAS version with dual channel design, i.e. in the server you would then have more performance for writing and reading with two data keys. I have no other explanation for the second connection.

You can use the HDDs for pretty much anything....I use the disks in several NAS systems....but would also have no problem using them in a computer.

Yes, that's how I operate it.

Hello I have four pieces in my QNAP TS-451+-8G as Raid 5. Works flawlessly...

I also have it in the Synology NAS in the office under the table. It's quiet and not audible, apart from initialising after insertion.

There is no tool to determine the cache size, but in the description of Seagate the cache is 256 MB of these HDDs. https://www.seagate.com/files/www-content/datasheets/pdfs/exos-x18-channel-DS2045-1-2007DE-de_DE.pdf
Hello Jay Jay 1. i think the disk will definitely work. Synology always takes a while to add the current largest disks to the compatibility list. Don't have any experience with Xpenology, but don't see any reason why they should have restrictions. The only thing to note is that with Synology (and Xpenology?) you can't use more than 108TB per volume. At Backblaze, the disk with a small number of units and little runtime was in the latest report with a poor AFR (Average Failure Rate). I only discovered this after buying two of them *#/&%* I just hope that they had a couple of "Monday models" in there and that the general statistics of the hard disks will improve over time. https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-hard-drive-stats-for-2020/ 3. bought my second server with i3 processor (power saving and h265 encoding support for Plex) and ECC RAM a few weeks ago, so I can now mirror my first FreeNAS/TrueNAS at a second location. It took a bit of a learning curve for me as a non computer scientist and non Unixer and not a big terminal user, but it was worth it. ZFS has its hurdles here and there, but has snapshots, checksum and everything else you could wish for. With iocage, you build your own jailed server for each application. I now run three Nextcloud, Plex, Reverse Proxy, DNS with VoidZones, TimeMachine, UnifiController and one or two other things. Btw, I already had an old Synology as a backup (admittedly 415play plastic box), but actually only want ZFS (btrfs unfortunately doesn't run on 415play). As for hardware, TrueNAS has so far eaten all the PCI cards (I wouldn't put the WLAN on it) that I have installed. But I would definitely use ECC Ram with ZFS. I have read various things about this, but it seems to be rather negligent. Good luck and have fun
Hi, you can just type in the amount you want. ; ) You may have to use your keyboard then.
