Question about the XPEnology 918+ NAS

estrichleger · January 5, 2023

Hi there,

i Have a XPEnologyrom for the 918+ about 1 year working.

Can I update it to Synology OS 7.0.1 or should I stay on 6.2.3-25426 ?

Maybe I can install a newer ROM? If so can someone help me a bit out in this case?

You should be able to upgrade. There are pros and cons to upgrading, only you will know if it's worth it since only you know how you use the server.

If you search around on this forum there are guides on how to upgrade.

OK. Thanks for your help

This Redpill thing is a bit to over for me I think. Seems that I should stay on 6 as I just need it for filebackup.

In the compat list for the 918+ there are no 18TB drives. Can I use them instead the list does not say so?

I am actually using a Raid1 with 2 Toshiba 18 TB drives without problems for 2 months now (918+).

Thanks for the info. Then I will get 5 from Seagate or is there a manufacturer you would recommend

In my case Toshiba, but any manufacture should work.
