Ordering a ReadyNAS with any disk EXCEPT Western Digital?
I would like to replace my current ReadyNAS which contains 4 disks with a more recent model. Is there any way I can specify the disks as ANY BRAND except Western Digital? TIA

I personally am brand agnostic for that exact reason, I pick the drive that seems the best suited at the time for the use I plan to make of it or which has the best price/warranty.
I would typically balance my disks between the two brands if I had some bulk update to do (main storage on a brand, backup on another).
What would make a real difference is the efficiency of the customer support though. I can admit that a product fails, I just can't admit that it takes a month to replace a disk for example. A bad customer experience ruins my trust in a company in just a second.
