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 but I assume they would be shortly after testing? I don't see any 4TB that are approved, so can 4TB drives(specifically these Reds) be used on my unit?
Thanks!
Thanks!

- I am running the WD Red 4Tb drives with no issues. I thought about it before purchasing them and figured since the 3TB models and a WD Black 4TB model was on the ECL they would work, and they do. I am savvy enough to not need support for a hardware issue. Mine was a brand new install so I had no issues at all.
- I thought about it and based on what you are saying it makes more sense to do a factory reset as I have all my data backed up. I'm going to give it a shot tomorrow.
