When we asked Synology, we were told that the drives wereConventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) drives.
Other features the Plus series drives include:
One million hours mean time between failures (MTBF) and 180 TB/year workload rating. To put this in perspective, Seagate’s IronWolf class of HDDs has the same specs but are targeted NAS drives.
