Which mainboard / motherboard is used? If both memories are compatible with the mainboard and the necessary interfaces are available, then: i. O. Save the operating system and certain reliable programmes such as Microsoft Office on SSD. Ordinary files, which are often only stored temporarily, should be saved on HDD.

The cache is 128 MB, the storage technology is CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording). The hard drive is filled with air, not helium. The maximum workload rate per year is not explicitly stated by the manufacturer. The maximum internal transfer rate is up to 185 MB/s. The speed is 5640 rpm and the interface is SATA 6 Gb/s.

The WD20EARZ and the WD20EZRZ are not identical, although both belong to the WD Blue series with 2 TB capacity. The WD20EARZ uses CMR technology, as does the WD20EZRZ, but they are different model numbers, which may indicate differences in firmware or other specifications. Since Synology does not have the WD20EARZ on the compatibility list and warns of data loss, it is risky to use this drive as a replacement in a RAID 1 array when a WD20EZRZ was originally intended. For RAID systems it is important to use exactly compatible drives to avoid data loss. To summarise: The WD20EARZ is not identical to the WD20EZRZ and is not listed as compatible by Synology. Therefore, the WD20EARZ should not be used as a replacement disc in RAID-1 if the WD20EZRZ is the original drive.

Unfortunately not. Synology has very detailed compatibility lists: https://www.synology.com/en-us/compatibility?search_by=products&model=DS216j&category=hdds_no_ssd_trim&filter_brand=Western%20Digital&filter_type=3.5%22%20SATA%20HDD&p=1&change_log_p=1 Also generally speaking, the Blue series is more suitable for desktop PCs.

Yes it would fit the Macbook Pro 2011, although I would highly recommend to install an SSD instead, because the SSD would be much faster. The cheapest 2TB SSD would be 177 CHF: Crucial BX500 (2000GB, 2.5") If you are ok with 1TB, it would cost about 100 CHF: Crucial BX500 (1000GB, 2.5")

what is the difference between cmr and smr?

These are two different recording methods, with hard disks behaving slightly differently depending on their intended use. It is therefore worth taking a look at this guide before buying: https://www.reichelt.de/magazin/ratgeber/smr-cmr-welche-festplatte-eignet-sich-am-besten-fuer-welchen-zweck/

Hello Christian, You will get many answers to the question "what is the difference between CMR and SMR" if you search for it in Google, for example. Read for example : https://www.securedatarecovery.com/blog/choosing-cmr-smr-technology-hard-drives https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=What+is+the+difference+between+SMR+and+CMR%3F&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjxiuqOl9TwAhUJPOwKHdBKA8MQzmd6BAgGEAk&biw=1600&bih=767 The WD Blue 4TB WD40EZAZ hard disk I bought at Digitec is an SMR drive. As far as I know, the WD40EZAZ is not available as a CMR drive. Best regards Ulrich

Can I install this in my ps4 slim?

Ja, das geht's. (Sorry about my very poor German) Yes, this disk fits in the PS4 Slim, but it will go slow, as always. The super long load times of PS4 are mainly due to the hard disk. I strongly recommend you to chose a SSD. They are a bit more expensive but so much worthwhile!! For instance: Intenso high performance (960GB, 2.5") Or almost any SSD 2.5" with the same specs. I personally don't need 1TB and with the disk of 500GB I have more than enough for my PS4. I hope this helps, Ivan.

Hello, theoretically you can use all HDDs, but the wd blue is not intended for 24h operation. Here you can find all tested WD HDDs from Synology. https://www.synology.com/de-de/compatibility?search_by=products&model=DS419slim&category=hdds_no_ssd_trim&filter_brand=Western%20Digital&p=1
