ReadyNAS 100 - is it OK to mix hard drive manufacturers and models
I have a ReadyNAS 1100 that currently has four 1TB Seagate drives in it. I just had to put the last spare drive from the shelf to rebuild the volume when one drive failed so am shopping for a spare drive. I'm starting to have an issued finding matching model spare Seagate drives that are not rebuilt drives and that still have a warranty. Is there any problem with mixing drive manufacturers and/or model numbers if they are all on the compatibility list?

That works fine, so there is no problem doing that. I suggest the WD10EFRX. It looks like the newest model on the list, and the WD20EFRX has worked well in my Duo v1.
