Drive compatability list is empty for ReadyNAS 104

I am considering purchasing a ReadyNAS 104, but the information on this site says there is no support if you don't pick a drive from the list. When I go to the list, it's blank. I was planning to use Seagate 4TB NAS HDD SATA 6Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST4000VN000), which should give me 12 TB of storage using RAID 5. I need to know that Netgear is going to support the system. If not, there's no point in buying. Thanks!

    I'm not sure if you are having the language problem here or at the HCL site - I have been assuming here. If so, the screen I was directing you to looks like this (in English):

    Is the compatable drive list on a popup? 

     

     


    The HCL link ( http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20641/~/readynas-hard-disk-compatibility-list ) doesn't create any popups.  There is a pulldown to select the NAS model (and a second pulldown if you select "legacy").

     

    Then a couple of optional pulldowns to let you filter the list.

    I can see that disk on the list for that model. Second on the list when filtering to just show SeaGate brand and 4TB capacity.

      Hello BionicManster,
       
      Welcome to the community!
       
      It is populating Like mdgm, I was able to see that model in the list. 
       
      Here is the part of the list of Seagate disks that are compatible with RN104 where your disk shows:

        Thanks to everyone above. I'm going to buy the 104 and 4 of the Seagate 4TBs to go in it. Another unrelated problem ... Somehow my profile is set to German. I can't read German well enough to figure out how to reset it. Can the moderator change this for me?
