N8900 series / N12000V / N12000PRO / N16000V / N16000PRO HDD/SSD Compatibility List Notes: 1. It's recommended to have the newest available firmware installed on the NAS. 2. For business critical environments, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND using enterprise HDD'S: - Enterprise versus Desktop HDD's (Intel) ftp://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/enterprise_class_versus_desktop_class_hard_drives_.pdf
- Western Digital TLER http://www.wdc.com/en/library/other/2579-001098.pdf
3. The listed HDD's have all been tested in room temperature environments. 4. Please keep the NAS in an airconditioned environment. 5. Thecus does NOT guarantee any RAID data safety and the NAS storage administrator should back up important data regularly. 6. The EXT3 File System is limited to 8TB per volume. Use one of the following methods for larger RAID volumes: 6.1 Use another File System (XFS, EXT4) that supports larger RAID volumes. 6.2 Use multiple RAID volumes. 7. The EXT4 File System has a limitation of 16TB per volume. 8. The XFS file system has no upward limit on volume size. 9. WD has suggested not to use the desktop consumer hard disk in business-critical RAID environments because the drives may not work correctly. For more detail, please refer to http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1397 10. For Seagate ST3000DM001, ST2000DM001, ST1500DM003 & ST1000DM003 series with part number 9YN16x, please confirm the HDD firmware been updated or check from the Download Finder. *http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/223651en * https://apps1.seagate.com/downloads/request.html?userPreferredLocaleCookie=en_US_
