I looked at the Synology compatibility list at"only Synology's own hard drives, and third-party drives certified by Synology, will offer "the full range of functions and support."
The list of certified third-party drives is three pages long for my DS923+
No need to worry.

and also

The largest Synology drive was 20TB but not listed in the Synology store. However, it's on Amazon for around US$ 900.
The largest certified third-party drive is 16TB.
For comparison a new Exos 24TB drive is currently around $500 and according to
https://www.seagate.com/content/dam/sea ... -en_US.pdf
uses conventional magnetic recording. Note that recertified CMR drives with 28TB are $400.
Since on the website
then you're on your own unless paying double for the compatible lower-capacity hard disks.Synology will not provide technical support if your device is not on the Synology Products Compatibility List.
As already mentioned, you get a newer version of Samba server with Raspberry Pi as well.
