Seagate SkyHawk AI (2024), 24TB (ST24000VE002) on QNAP TS-253E

I am using the QNAP TS-253E as dedicated surveillance NAS. The 24TB version of the 2024 Seagte SkyHawk series has not been acknowledged yet as being compatible. I requested for it. I have two questions:

  1. How long does it take to have the compatibility tested by QNAP?
  2. Has anybody already used this drive on the QNAP TS-253E?

Best to open a ticket. I would use a pair (or more) of NAS disk in a NAS. If you had a dedicated NVR then you can use these disks.

I already opened a ticket couple of weeks ago. Never got an email for confirmation. Just re-entered the ticket. Again, no confirmation mail.

I may go for the Exos X24 instead, which is on the compability list and is also suited for surveillance storage.

I use approved Exos drives for surveillance. They are better drives and easily go 5 years of 24/7. Also, generally cheaper than Skyhawk.

Be carefull with exos drives right now
