http://store.synologyamerica.com/Product.aspx?ProductId=98If I recall there are three types of 2.5" disk holders, so it would depend on which Synology Model you own.But you should find the one you are looking for at the Synology Store.

Any vendor is fine. I put up to 4TB drives in this, so 3TB will definitely work.

Ocz does as Amazon.com is listed on their website as places from we can buy the drive.http://ocz.com/consumer/where-to-buy/united-states/online-resellers

Check out the manufacturer's website, synology.com. It already lists a 5 TB Seagate NAS drive as compatible.

Yes. I did exactly that when I purchased my Synology NAS. The BlackArmor NAS was a piece of crap, but the drives are fine and the Syno. NAS will play well with them.

That's a very specific problem. You would probably need to buy another case to get what you're looking for.You could try contacting Raidmax customer support to see if there's something they can do for you: http://raidmax.com/support.htmlIf all else fails, you could get a 3.5" all-in-one type thing like this: TabStore 5.25" PC Dashboard Media LCD Front Panel Audio SD MS MMC CF XD TF M2 Card Reader with Fan Control USB 3.0

I have the same Synology 1813+ DiskStation, set up in a RAID 6 (with data protection) configuration, and I have temporarily filled only 5 of the 8 drive bays, as I do not need the entire 8-bay (4TB each) amount of the storage, and in addition, I don't want to use these drives yet to extend their useful lifetime. Additional drives can be added one-by-one as needed. So yes, what you are asking will work fine. And this unit is a GREAT feature-packed NAS! I've had it for 8 months now, and love it.

I'd STRONGLY recommend against using an old drive in the device. By using one not from Synology's list, you risk poor performance. It would be a drag to set it up and then have slow performance. Don't use an old drive -- they all have a maximum life, and yours could be close to the end and you would never know. Since you're putting it in a 1-bay enclosure with no redundancy, you want to install the most reliable disk you can.

Seagate GoFlex Desk and Seagate Backup Plus both fit this Thunderbolt base. I'm not familiar with the Free Agent drive though.

Go for 713+.I got it ... its a dream.This is my 3rd Synology ... only due to upgrade.

Yes. You are buying the "box" that controls the disks. You purchase the hard drive separately. Check the Synology website before purchasing to make sure the disks you purchase are compatible. There is a very long list of ones that are, so lots to choose from.

Drive only means just that; no mounting hardware or software. Right now though the RESELLER kit is on Black Friday sale and is definitely the one you would want.

I want to preorder too, but want to check it out myself before I do so. Bestbuy, Costco, MS Store will also sell these so I'm sure there's going to be a lot of places to buy it from. Maybe MS Store might offer a student discount, or a cleaner Windows with same price. Costco might have it with some other bundle, maybe a carrying case, or some small accessory, just like how they sell WD Passport external hdd with carrying case bundle. I'm going to be patient because I am very picky person on buying tech stuff, and I hate buying and returning stuff even if it is free.

Hi. I don't know, since I mounted a main disk 240 Gb Corsair Force SSD and let a 750 Gb WD Caviar Black for storage I did not looked again in WD offers. This is crap and if it is discontinued much better for all the people who will not waist money for nothing. I let is for storage but disconeccted. I only connet it and save something there from time to time. Regards

You'll need to ask Buffalo. The hardware device is reported as "gendisk" (generic disk) by my Device Manager. The only way I could establish which manufacturer made my Drive Station hard disk would be to remove the cover. Obviously I don't want to do that. Many computer and peripheral manufacturers change their hard drive providers (bidding for cost-savings) during the manufacturing runs of their devices so you have to ask Buffalo to be sure about what you will get. I can tell you that mine has been a sturdy and reliable drive regardless of what is inside it.
