Just loaded readynas 516 with these drives (ST8000AS0002)

I did put screw at the bottom of the tray after cutting the middle nub away to hold the drive more secure. Unfortunately I really need the space the 8tb drives give other wise I would have not made this move. I already maxed out my space with the 4tb drives so might as well go big as I can. I have been using readynas system for a very long time and never had a problem using a drive that was not on the spec list. I have 3 nas systems and one has speced drives and the other 2 dont. And the funny thing is the one with drives on the list to use is the one that has failed on me before. I have to say the 516 is so much faster then the readynas pro pioneer edition I have.
