HCL X6 - Disk Drives
I have an X6 and one of the disks is failing. It doesn't appear that the HCL lists drives for the X6 (RAIDiator 4.1.7). I stayed on that version of RAIDiator as the newer version caused performance issues for me.
I was hoping to use the drive that I purchased for my ULTRA 4 Plus
Seagate - Barracuda LP ST2000DL003 - 2 TB
Any idea if this will work or where I can see the drive HCL for the X6?

- The Infrant ReadyNAS X6 is a Sparc ReadyNAS. It was discontinued prior to the NetGear acquisition. Please use drives from the compatibility list for the NV+ (v1) which is also a Sparc ReadyNAS.
I would not recommend the ST2000DL003 drive at this time. There is a known issue with that drive that is addressed by a test firmware released by SeaGate. - "I would not recommend the ST2000DL003 drive at this time.

Any ideas where I can find out more about this?
Is there some way to upgrade the drive firmware inside of the Ultra 4 Plus? - The 600 would share the HCL with the NV+ as mdgm mentioned.
Seagate doesn't provide Linux utilities to flash hard drive firmware. You would have to connect them to a PC and use a DOS boot disk most likely. I would not recommend the ST2000DL003 drive at this time. There is a known issue with that drive that is addressed by a test firmware released by SeaGate.
I pulled all 4 drives one at a time when the ReadyNAS was powered down.
The full Part Number on the drive was:
9VT166-302
F/W:
CC3C
Do you know what version of the firmware is having the known issue or where I could find out the details about this?mdgm wrote:

Seagate support response:
Per our system your hard drive is not experiencing a FIRMWARE issue.
