Synology 1813+ HDD Suggestions?

I've had my Synology for several years now and previously had to replace 2 degraded drives, with no issues.  Recently another drive has gone down and I bought a WD Red Plus and an Ironwolf Pro.  Neither are on the compatibility list and I can't find any in stores that are on the list.  Same model, wrong suffix in many cases.  Any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance.

The compatibility isn't really that relevant. The drive will still work, but lack some specific features built into DSM. You're not likely to find any drives for sale that existed when your NAS was new. 2013 is a long time ago in tech. Just pop them in and click continue 🙂

Thanks!  it's repairing now, the warning seemed pretty ominous so I didn't want to risk it.  I have had two drives fail in the past but never had that message pop up on replacement.
