Questions to check before buying

As checked 13 September 2026, DSM 7.3 permits non-validated third-party drive installation and storage pools on 2025 DiskStation models; M.2 cache and pools retain hardware-compatibility-list requirements.

Check exact drive and memory compatibility. Processor identity and port ratings do not establish transcoding support or transfer performance.
