Will larger size HDDs (ie, 1TB, 1.5TB, 2TB) work with my Syn

[Franklin]

Will larger size HDDs (ie, 1TB, 1.5TB, 2TB) work with my Synology System?

Because it is frequently asked, here is the reply

New HDDs which are advertised as being released by HDD manufactures, such as the upcoming Seagate 1.5TB drive, or the future 2TB drive, will be tested with Synology systems when the drives become main stream/popular.

Until Synology tests the drives, it compatibility will not be guaranteed.

For a list of HDDs which have been tested by Synology, please look here
