Or is that already done at the factory behind the scenes?

What about in a Synology SHR1 NAS environment?

I’m going to run 6x 8TB QVO drives in a DS620slim in SHR1 config.

If the QVO SSDs do need overprovisioning, what percentage is recommended?

Bought the NAS and SSDs now need to buy the backup drives to finish the setup.

I’m trying to figure out and buy my NAS’s backup external USB hard drives while the holiday sales are still on and still in stock. Stupid good deal on WD 18TB USB external hard drive right now, two of them might just be enough if I do need to overprovision, might not be if I don’t. Not such a great deal on the WD 20TB USB hard drives if I have to go that route.
