Their support clearly lists which hard drives, both HDD and SSD are compatible with their disk stations.Western Digital changed the features of its hard drives, so be wary Of that brand.For information, I had 4 3Tb Red drives which performed very well…and listed as compatible. When one finally, as they do, failed, I re-ordered from my previous order but when I installed it, the disk station gave me the non-compatible error message. It’s almost impossible to tell, but there’s a digit in the serial number….what they did was a hardware change some how, but never the less, when I searched the internet I found a number of disgruntled buyers who, like me, thought they were buying the same product.</blockquote>
