Only old Harddisks on Compatibility List for ReadyNas Ultra 6
Hi, I only see old harddisks on the Harddisk Compatibility List. For example from 2011 (3TB disks). Why not recent ones? The newest 4TB disks are: Hitachi 7K4000 HUS724040ALE640 - from mid 2012...
Ok.
Just for anybody who wants to know my experience, I tried two kind of WD disks, and they both work fine in my NAS:
- WD20EFRX (the new Western Digital Red 2 TB)
- WD40EZRZ (the new Western Digital Blue 4 TB)
Bye,
Jeroen

Question: is there also a list where customers can share their experiences with harddisks that do and do not work fine for certain (legacy) NAS systems? So that a list is generated by the user community with disks that do and do not give problems for a certain type of NAS.
Not at present. The closest we have is that you can search this forum on disk models.
One challenge is that almost all disks will install successfully, but some aren't that reliable. We don't have any good way to gather useful statistics on that.
