I'm going to have to add a big "I agree" to this post. We're about ready to buy another NAS (Ultra 6 Plus or Pro 6) and I'm a little disappointed at the lack of options for hard drives on the HCL. The Thailand floods have obviously caused the problem here.
Of the seven 3 TB drives available at Newegg right now, only two of them are on the HCL and they're both 5400 RPM.
Of the six 3 TB drives on the HCL, as RonA mentioned they're only available from less known vendors and several of them only for ridiculous prices.
It would be a huge help if we could get some new large capacity drives certified for use in the ReadyNAS. As a long-time customer and "recommender" I think this should be a top priority of the ReadyNAS team.
I also agree a list of drives that specifically failed testing would be helpful as well. At least then we'd know if a drive is simply untested or not listed for a specific reason.
