Define exactly what you mean by "best" when you use the word.

I wouldn't recommend going on just brand as each brand makes quite a few lines and models of hard drive.

The Synology compatibility list can be found at:

Anybody?

Bumps. Posts that bring a thread to the top of the New Posts list but add no content to the thread (bumps) are not permitted. This applies not only to posts that say "bump" but to those with the intent to bump, e.g. posts saying "anyone?" or the equivalent. See why and how to avoid bumping.
 
I have a Synology DS1511+ NAS. I use 5 Samsung HD204UI drives in it. Never had any issues, and I find they always run pretty cool.

Sorry should have clarified, by best I meant best performing. What are people's experience of the differing hard drives? I have seen the compatability list by synology, but just wanted people's opinions. As re: the bump, was unaware of this "no bump" rule, seems a little unnecessary and OTT
