Shucking a WD elements external drive for Synology

[cyber69]

WD elements 12TB drives are £200 cheaper than the red counterpart so wondering if they can be shucked for use in a Synology NAS? Can the drives be fitted without any modification?

Easiest way is to buy 12TB D10 Xbox expansion drives, they're a little more than the 14TB essentials but they can be shucked without losing warranty, dont need the power pin mod and contain a higher quality Ultrastar DC HC520 drive.

Sounds like a better option with it being an enterprise drive so better reliability. Do you know how long the warranty is?
