Can I install and operate this WD Red Pro hard drive (8 TB) together with a WD Red Plus (8 TB) in a NAS Synology DS218 in a RAID 1 array? The hard drives do not have the same speed and the data throughput is also different.
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.
