In principle, yes, but you should consider that in a RAID 1, the weakest component always sets the clock. When setting up a new RAID, everything goes well, but at a later point in time, there may be additional problems. My recommendation: Take two disks that are exactly the same.

We source our products from different suppliers to ensure availability as far as possible. As soon as a supplier does not have the item in stock, we switch to a supplier with higher availability. Each supplier offers different prices, so there may be price differences. There may be various reasons for this, such as higher purchase prices for smaller quantities or additional import costs.
The HDDs are only plugged into one slot. You do not need any additional cables for operation in a Synology NAS. Have fun with your new NAS!

It should work. I also had 5x WD Red Pro. One broken. Spare part was not with correct serial number. But everything was OK.

Of course you can use the WD Red Pro in the DS224+. Only the Plus models have been tested and included in the compatibility list by Synology, but the Pro models work perfectly. A RAM expansion can never hurt, whether it makes sense depends on which services are running on the NAS and what the intended use is.
As the largest online shop in Switzerland, we naturally also have to sell the fastest hard drives! 🏎️💨 Joking aside, the maximum speed of the hard drive is of course 7200 RPM, as you mentioned. Thank you for pointing this out, I will inform the relevant department.

According to our info Retail.
In my experience, you can mix hard disks of different sizes (that's what I have in my DS414). However, you should pay attention to the same speeds, had also tried to add a 5400 rpm to the existing 7200 rpm, it does not work !

Yes, I am currently experiencing the same thing. Noise in standby every 5 seconds See also https://www.amazon.com/Red-Pro-Internal-Hard-Drive/product-reviews/B07B1HX5KN?pageNumber=2
The product is the same, but the suppliers are not. Moreover, one is in stock and the other is not. The price variation can be justified by these two reasons. Prices are also set according to supply and demand.
According to Golem: "According to Western Digital, only the WD Red with 8 TByte to 14 TByte use the classic Perpendicular Magnetic Recording, while the 2 TByte to 6 TByte models use the slower Shingled Magnetic Recording" - these have a significantly lower transfer rate for random accesses. The slower SMR models are labelled (PDF) as EFAX (256 MByte cache), while the faster PMR drives are labelled EFRX (64 MByte buffer)."

When it comes to data backup, I wouldn't go for the cheaper price, but for reliability. Especially the WD Red Pro with its longer warranty and the explicit purpose "NAS" is certainly predestined here.

The product not described, but came back from the service centre. The warranty for this is effectively only 12 months. (since refurbished)
Sure ^^ I have 2 plates in similar condition... not exactly 4000 but from 200+ it becomes critical anyway! sounds like a high failure rate, but with 30 hard drives in operation it can happen ;-)) You have a 5-year warranty with WD Pro and every type of sector error or functional fault is recorded in the SMART. The manufacturer can track everything and everything that is recorded in the SMART diagnosis is covered by the warranty ^^

Scope of delivery: WD Red Pro hard drive That's it.
The quiz question is whether Digitec's claim of 750 MB/s is correct. :-o Digitec has a technical data sheet on file. It says something different there. Other sources also say something different https://www.hardwareluxx.de/index.php/artikel/hardware/storage/50770-western-digital-red-12-tb-und-red-pro-12-tb-im-test-ein-ungleiches-paar.html?start=3 https://nasserver-test.de/wd-red-pro-serie/ https://nascompares.com/2021/01/29/synology-hat5300-vs-wd-red-pro-nas-drive-comparison/
