Hard Disk Issues
Hi All, I could really use some helpful advice, and would appreciate any feedback I've got a Readynas Ultra 6 Plus. Currently I've got it populated with 6x Seagate ST2000DL003 Barracuda Green...

It could mean either of those. Either way, NetGear can and will deny support if you choose to use a disk outside the list.

Also this is the 3rd drive failure I've had now in 7 months, surely all these drives cant be that bad, could my ReadyNas be the actual issue, what can I do to test it ?
SeaGate has recently admitted there's a firmware issue with these drives that they have a test firmware to address. I'd be inclined to blame this model drive. However if you get the same issues with a different model drive then I'd suspect a problem with the NAS chassis.
