NETGEAR ReadyNAS Quick Installation vs new harddrives
Quick Installation, mounting holes in new harddrives.. only 2, one front and one hole back. So the middle hole is gone. Do you just cut of the middle plastic pin? And use the one pin back, or do they...
Hi Grimleiv
Currently there are no replacement disk trays available for the RN100 series, though newer models supports the hard drives with no center hole.
You may want to check this thread and this thread regarding your concern.
I am pretty sure ReadyNAS team is working on getting replacements for newer hard drives we just can't provide any ETA.
Hope this helps!
Regards

No, you remove the plastic insert in the tray, and mount using the holes in the bottom of the tray. Instructions are in the hardware manual if you need them (look in section on SSDs). Keep the insert, as it could be useful in the future.
Netgear included screws for mounting drives to the tray bottom, hopefully you still have them. With your older trays, you'll only have one pair of holes that align (The ones furthest from the SATA interface).
