XR500 Readyshare drive compatibility
Have 3TB drive connected to my XR500 Readyshare. Works perfectly.
Want to also connect a 10TB Western Digital Easystore drive. The compatibility list is outdated.
Anyone know (for sure) if it will work? Thank you in advance.
- We (Netduma) didn't have anything to do with ReadyShare as its a Netgear feature so I can't give you a definitive answer. There is a risk it wouldn't work as it's not on their official list (which you've rightly pointed out is out of date) so that does mean it won't have been tested with this particular drive.

- Couldn't say for sure but if it is the same manufacturer as your 3TB one then there is a good chance it will.
Thank you, Sir. They ARE all WD!!
So, the new question ... any 'real' risk in trying it??
