Pro 6 Long in the tooth vs. Bleeding Edge Gums
Any word on when the Pro 6 will support USB 3.0, Sata 6.0 GB drives, and the new Seagate Barracuda 1TB-per-disk technology (3 TB ST3000DM001)?

It seems that the Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST3000DM001 3 TB 6Gb/s Drives are now listed compatible in the latest ARM release for the ReadyNAS Duo v2 or ReadyNAS NV+ v2. Synology lists them as compatible as well. I switched to Seagate years ago because of the 5 year warrantee. Now it's 1 year, and if you follow the posts at Newegg or Amazon, it seems like they have an unacceptable % DOA. Caveat Emptor. That's Latin for **** you. However I'm still willing to buy into the 1TB/Platter technology based on past performance, and hope. It's been a long time since a rev on *86 (9/11) when presumably the HCL is revised. Prior approved Seagate drives are no longer available. Message to product manager at Netgear: GOYA (English for Get Off Your Ass) and give us potential buyers a current HD post Thailand solution, and co-market with Seagate to give us a 5 year warrantee with your product whether you supply the drives or we do with the diskless offering. Thanks, from someone who wants to buy the product, but.... it's not currently hardware compatible (Netgear), and the risks are not acceptable (Seagate). GOYA
