New WD Red 4TB Drives
I am almost at full capacity with 4 2TB Reds in my NetGear ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus, was planning to buy 3TB drives but just noticed WD has a 4TB Red that was just released. I know they aren't on the HCL...

Yeah I've been reading about this expansion limit. If I remember correctly, I when I bought it in 2011, I put in 4 2TB. So I'm thinking i should be ok going to 16. If not, I'll just go through the several days of backing up all my movies (about 3 TB worth), plus documents, pictures, computer back up images....will take a long time!
