Hi,
This is regarding ReadyNAS 212 and product page states that it supports full HD 1080p transcoding capability. Is there any compatibility list of the supported formats? And what are recommended drives?

It will transcode from 1080p to a fixed output resolution of 480p. Every media file is different so YMMV a bit. Different formats may require more processing power than others. We'd be thinking of videos at a normal frame rate e.g. 25-30fps.
The disks are not the bottleneck for transcoding. You can use a disk from our compatibility list e.g. WD RED, SeaGate NAS etc. It's up to you which you prefer to use. Some disks are more suited to use in a NAS environment than others. I would avoid disks with "Green" features.
