ReadyNAS 102 8TB Max
Hi guys I have a question about the max size for my new NAS. I see on the tech spec that it is listed to support up to 8TB Max. I can only put in 2x4TB drives? I see there are 6TB drives on the mar...

AFAIK the 6 TB drives work on the RN100 series now, as long as you stay below the 16 TiB total volume size. If so, Netgear doesn't need a firmware release to support them.
In the case of the RN102, its impossible to exceed the 16 TiB volume size anyway. But as lxa/vandermere are saying, you will lose support if you use them. Seems a bit silly to me.
That's what I was wondering, if I put them in will they work? Sounds like yes. I won't be doing this just yet as I'm good with 8TB of storage for all my backups, but it's nice to know that they should work.
You guys are very fast to respond! Thank you!
