4312X Expansion Options
The EDA4000 (24 bay expansion) has been flagged EOL -end of life and is very hard to find. Are there or will there be other expansion options for the 4312 NAS?
Thanks
Definitely go with enterprise class drives. I generally use WD (and HGST is part of WD), but I think the Seagate Exos should also work well.
Thanks - Yes, for sure on nothing but Enterprise for the number of HDs and vibration.. Being that I have my 4312 loaded up with Exos I'll probably do that in the 4360 if you're saying Exos are good.

Just to clarify - I think they will work fine, but I don't have a rackmount NAS (and I use NAS-purposed drives on my own desktop NAS).
Netgear is often slow to qualify drives, but their testing is thorough. So any enterprise drive on their HCL should work.
No worries.. I use them at home as well in my 4 bay RAID'd NAS. Yes, anything I go with is from their compat. list. Thx for the clarif.
