ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer: Disk tray replacement for high-capacity drives?
Hi Apologies if this question has been asked and answered; I've tooled around the NG site for hours and can't find a definitive answer. I have a ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer 6-bay device that I want to upg...
Perhaps blame it on chronic fatigue or lack of attention, but I just unsheathed the disk tray and slipped the drive from its anti-static bag again to take a photo of the two to compare — and the holes *actually do align*.
I don't know what I saw before, but perhaps the drive was snagged as I was sliding it in the tray?
Takeaway: the HGST HUS726040ALE610 (0F23005) does fit the standard, legacy ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer disk trays OK.
I'm sorry for wasting your time, but perhaps this thread will be of use to others — at least inasmuch as confirming the trays and drives physically match.
Once again, my thanks for your help.
Hi NateDC,
I am thinking if your new disk has disk holes that is somewhat the same as the Seagate ironWolf on the forum link below and thus you will need a new disk tray for your HGST 7K6000 HUS726040ALE610.
If you could attach a picture of the screw holes of your drive I might be able to figure out the ReadyNAS disk tray part code you can purchase that will fit with your ReadyNAS Pro 6 unit.
Sincerely,

Many thanks for your attention to my dilemma, NXIXN.
I'll check out that thread you provided.
Meantime, please see attached the image of the drive tray for the ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer, showing the four holes.ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer drive tray

Generally the new alternative mount points show up on drives 6TB or larger.
Even then, one pair of holes should align (the ones farthest from the sata connector).
