Have four of them in the NAS just under my desk, I wouldn't have heard them click muffly or vibrate excessively when booting up now (but hardly ever reboot them).
Have you already looked in the compatibility list at Synology to see if the disk is in there? it could be that this disk (this type & size) is not on it. I have no problems with the disks themselves, but they are also in self-build nas.
Geizhals.eu lists the drive as CMR - I can't say 100% for sure if that's true. But I have no reason to doubt it. So far I have had no problems with it, but it is also used as RAID0.
We offer the version you are looking for
Seagate IronWolf (8 TB, 3.5", CMR)
Due to the problem with counterfeits in Europe, there is currently no availability, so this variant cannot be offered.
Yes, this 2 TB HDD can be used with the DS218j. "Third-party manufacturer" must be selected in the drop-down menu. The manufacturer number, ST2000VN003, is then displayed in the list: https://www.synology.com/de-de/compatibility?search_by=drives&model=DS218j&category=hdds_no_ssd_trim&display_brand=other
Yes, depending on the raid configuration, this is possible or you will destroy everything. With a mirrored RAID you can do this step by step by first swapping a hard drive for an 8TB. As soon as the RAID is intact again, you can swap the smaller disc for an 8TB. This will not work with a striped RAID. If the disks are not set up as a RAID, you can swap them and copy the data if necessary.
The actual RPM of this hard drive is 7200 RPM. This is a known display error on our part. We are working to rectify the problem as quickly as possible.
Hello, yes it should work. More info can be found at Synology: https://www.synology.com/fr-fr/compatibility with the disk supplier model number "ST12000VN0008".
Much cheaper at Galaxus.DE? currently the hard drive costs EUR 240.- there, at Galaxus.AT even EUR 250.-

Seagate IronWolf (12 TB, 3.5", CMR)
Galaxus Switzerland and Galaxus Germany buy completely separately and therefore have different conditions.
I ordered 2 disks from digitec, one of which was not recognised in my NAS. I received a replacement disk and the problem was solved = it was a DOA. Since there is no information about the computer, here is the statement from Seagate: https://www.seagate.com/de/de/support/kb/the-bios-does-not-detect-or-recognize-the-ata-sata-hard-drive-168595en/
So if it is still under warranty, exchange the disk and send it back with the S.M.A.R.T. values and the notification of the NAS under warranty in your purchases. It worked for me.
No, this would be a first ;-)
Every normal HDD/SDD in 3.5", 2.5" or even m.2 comes without any mounting material.
Exception are some Server HDD/SSDs which are already mounted to a caddy:
HPE 12G 2.5" SAS 2.4TB 10k (2.40 TB, 2.5")
Mounting frames and screws are part of your computer case.
I have a *Synology DS418j* NAS and have 2 of the hard drives installed at 2x https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/seagate-ironwolf-10tb-35-festplatte-5961183 and since I installed the last one and my data is now on all 4ren it spacks around, I don't know why, can it be that the two hard drives are not compatible with my NAS ? or with the other two hard drives ? So it loads slowly, opens the folder slowly and before I could watch a movie over the NAS without any problems, now it hangs all the time and reloads, but when I go into the NAS settings it says "Ram 45% and CPU 14%" utilization in the resource monitor, can something be wrong ...?
Why don't you offer the 5400 RPM version (ST8000VN002)?
It would be a little quieter (26 instead of 32 dBA) and, above all, would have almost halved power consumption (5.3 instead of 10.1 W).

As a private user, I am more interested in the power consumption and noise level than the throughput, which is also almost identical!
The only disadvantage I can see: Idle mode has 1 instead of 0.25W. However, since my disc is spinning 24/7 anyway because of Docker, this is not relevant for me.
Replacing 4 together has the disadvantage that they are probably all from the same batch. It wouldn't be the first time that after a disk failed in RAID5 and was replaced, the next one gave up the ghost during the massive accesses for the reorganisation. Basically, all 1 SG and 3 WD run together, the only question is how the disk array is organised. For example, I have 2 NAS in 2 places that back up the same data independently of each other. 1 of them has only 1(!) of 4 slots occupied at the moment (it's brand new, only got RAID 1 a few months ago), the other 2 of 2 (RAID 1), whereby I regularly steal a disk from it and store it in a third place.
I have the 1x8 TB version in my desktop, which is muffled, and I have 4x 6TB in my Synology 1019+, which is in a closet. It is known that Ironwolf are "slightly" louder than WD Red, but we are talking about 1-2dB maximum.
Of course, the question is what you mean by "unbearably loud". I myself can say that under a long full load, a slight buzzing can be heard, but no roaring/rattling (if I leave out the cabinet or the housing cover).
So I would rather say that one of your hard disks has a defect. That's why I would recommend a SMART test via Synology DSM. Hopefully it will show the culprit.
I had a DoA once before, because the hard drive was not doing well in the post. So it would not be surprising.
