I've been running WD Reds in my old Synology for 12 years. I ran 3 drives in Synologys "Hybrid Raid" and needed to replace two of these drives during its lifetime.
I recently upgraded to a new unit, which starting this year only accepts Synology-branded drives. I didn't feel they were unreasonably priced, and hope they'll deliver similar availability. This time I got 4 drives so I could run proper RAID5. I probably won't keep backing it up to the cloud, though.
