  • Where are you stuck?

     

    If this is a new purchase (you are the original owner), then you do have phone support for installation.

      First of all thanks for reply.

      All I want to know is if RN212 with 2 bays supports 10 tb + 10 tb mirroring hard drive

        Yes, it does.  The specs Netgear publishes on drive space are based on the largest drives available at the time, and specs for older models often never get updated to show the added available space with newer, larger drives.  If there are no 10GB drives listed as compatible with your NAS, just use the recommendations for others as a guide.  NAS purposed or Enterprise drives are best.  Non-NAS ":green" drives or anything that's SMR should be avoided.

         

        There is no specified true limit to drive size.  Practically, other factors may bog it down and make it difficult to use at some point.  But you're not there yet.
