Netgear falling behind?

Ah yes but the HDD's weren't on the HCL at the time I purchased them. That much I do know. Because other people were asking when they'd be certified. I just took the leap of faith and did it anyway, before they made the list. Yep, your right about the memory. I upgraded the memory in my old Duo in much the same way. Looked at what specs the NAS required, and bought memory that was double the size but still fit those specs.
