I see it is not here: https://kb.netgear.com/18985/Will-my-USB-drive-work-with-ReadySHARE, so I wanted to confirm with the community

The ReadySHARE database of compatible USB devices is a joke.

 

I can't confirm that the USB drive you quote works, maybe someone else has direct experience with the 6TB drive, but I have used an 8TB Seagate Backup Plus Hub with the R7800.

 

This is listed as being compatible with the R7000P. Oddly, the R7800 doesn't list it.
