Hi, I am looking to purchase a backup disk for my recently purchased DS920+ NAS - specifically for off-site backup.
I am finding it hard to identify whether any USB storage will work with the Synology DS920+, or whether I need something special. External drives indicate whether they work with Windows and MAC, but not Synology.
Can you tell me, are all the following devices suitable to use with the Synology DS920+ for external backup?
1. WD 4TB My Passport Ultra Portable HDD
2. WD 5TB My Passport Ultra Portable HDD **
3. WD My Passport Ultra for Mac
4. WD My Passport Portable Hard Drive
5. WD My Passport for Mac Portable Hard Drive
6. Seagate Basics 4 TB Desktop External Hard Drive - USB3.0
7. Seagate Portable Drive, 4TB, External Hard Drive
8. SEAGATE One Touch Portable Hard Drive - 5 TB
9. Toshiba Canvio Partner 4TB Portable 2.5" External HDD, USB 3.2 Gen 1
Is there something else that I should be considering?
