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 ...

I did find a drop down menu inthe upper right, but changing it doesn't change the titles and commands from German to English.

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.

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?

    I can't see your private information (or change your settings) either.
    
    Try clicking on your icon on the top right. Settings are the second choice down (profile is the top choice, but you can't change anything from there).
    
    Then select the second tab from the left. In English it is "Preferences". Language is the second entry down (and is a pull-down).
    
    Get back to me (either a PM or just reply here). If the navigation hints above don't help, I will escalate up to someone who does have full administrative rights.
