Is Seagate 8TB NAS HDD SATA 6Gb/s NCQ 256 MB Cache Bare Drive ST8000VN0002 compatible?

ReadyNAS 316, OS 6.5.0 I have seen the post talking about the Western Digital new 8TB Red HDD but I just noticed Amazon has the Seagate 8TB NAS HDD SATA 6Gb/s NCQ 256 MB Cache Bare Drive ST8000...

Hi DJDOC,

Our ReadyNAS units will accept any standard SATA HDD but using the ones that are not listed in our HCL comes with a risk. Anyway, a positive feedback is found on this thread and you should be able to install this HDD on your system.

Kind regards,

Campus has me a bit scared but I'm going through with it. I'm almost out of space!

There are other 8TB disks out there e.g. from WD.

  My two WD80EFZX are still working out well. The disk fits the tooless insert on the tray.
  
  One poster is hearing some seek noise, but I am not.

    Oh no! The Seagate 8TB NAS HDD SATA 6Gb/s NCQ 256 MB Cache Bare Drive ST8000VN0002 I bought does not fit in the control tray! It is missing the holes in the middle! I think I'm going to drill some homemade holes. Mabey that is why there is noise coming from the HD for some people. I definately am not going to snap off the small pegs on the control tray and ruin it. :mansad:
