Yea I understand. However here are some concerns that I have with the list. The hardware compatibility list includes the EADS and the EARS which were the previous versions of the drive. You can't find those now. The note for the drive says that only drives of a certain firmware, ones with 512kb sectors can be used. However if you view the tech bulletin, the 4k sectors of the other firmwares were officially supported in RAIDiator 4.1.7 released on November 12, 2010. That's over a year ago. I inferred, maybe wrongly, that the only reason there was a restriction was because of the 4k sector size. The EARX is basically the same drive as the EADS and the EARS, albeit with an updated interface. This is why I was really looking for an authoritative response from Netgear support (you're still Infrant to me though). If they say EARX drives are not supported I'll get other drives.
