3-2-1 cold backup fit

No series-level recording rating is on file for this part number yet — check the exact model for CMR vs SMR before buying it as a large cold copy (SMR is the one trait that makes a 16 TB+ backup copy painfully slow). The 3-2-1 guide and the backup tools encyclopedia cover what to schedule it with.

Compatibility verdict

It appears on the official compatibility lists of 102 machines and series — 66 Synology, 28 QNAP, 8 Asustor.

No series-level recording rating is on file for this part number yet, so check CMR vs SMR on the exact model before buying for an array.
