Hello. I’m from Argentina. I wanted to replace my two 2TB WD HDDs with two 4TB SSDs. When I checked compatible models for my QNAP on the official website, I was surprised to find that those drive models are no longer sold in Argentina and neighboring countries. I’m worried that buying two 4TB WD Red 2025 model drives, which are specifically designed for NAS devices, might not work in my QNAP TS-251+. Could you tell me if I can install a 4TB WD Red 2025 model drive in my QNAP without any problems?

Could you tell me if I can use a WD Red 4TB 2025 model drive in my QNAP without any problems?

  1. English forum..only post in English
  2. When switching from HDD to SSD, please start from scratch (TRIM and other features get activated then)
  3. WD RED are specifically made for NAS, why would you think they do not work?

Since a huge variety of new hard drive models are released every year, and the TS-251+ has been EOL, we cannot test and verify all new drive models.

However, it should support them in principle. If you encounter any difficulties, please contact us again. Thanks!

Because QNAP support told me they can’t guarantee that drives NOT on the compatibility list suggested on the official QNAP website will work. This causes me doubt and uncertainty in my decision; I don’t need to buy another QNAP. The models on the list suggested by QNAP are obsolete (QNAP TS 251+) on the market and they haven’t updated the list for my model either, because they consider my QNAP TS 251+ obsolete. Thank you for your response.

Because QNAP support replied that they cannot guarantee that drives NOT on the compatibility list suggested by the official QNAP page will work. So this causes me doubts and uncertainty in my decision, I don’t need to buy another QNAP. The models on the list suggested by QNAP are obsolete (QNAP TS 251+) on the market and they also don’t update the list for my model, because for them my QNAP TS 251+ is obsolete. Thank you for responding to me.
