No series-level recording rating is on file for this part number yet — check the exact model for CMR vs SMR before buying it as a large cold copy (SMR is the one trait that makes a 16 TB+ backup copy painfully slow). The 3-2-1 guide and the backup tools encyclopedia cover what to schedule it with.

Quick answers

Is the HDN721010ALE604 officially compatible with my NAS?

It appears on the official compatibility lists of 267 machines and series — 96 Synology, 171 QNAP. Every machine page linked below shows the vendor's own list entry, refreshed daily.

Can I use the HDN721010ALE604 for a 3-2-1 cold backup copy?

No series-level recording rating is on file for this part number yet — check the exact model for CMR vs SMR before buying it as a large cold copy (SMR is the one trait that makes a 16 TB+ backup copy painfully slow). The 3-2-1 guide and the backup tools encyclopedia cover what to schedule it with.
