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

Customer service of course matters a lot.
In my specific case, multiple drive failures in rapid succession cost me some data, which matters even more. Fortunately I was able to recover most of it. One response was to get a NAS, a second response was to discontinue use of optical media for backup (some of which also turned out to be unreadable), the third response was to switch to WDC.
I'll stay with WDC until they give me a reason not to.
