SSD's support smart. Where did you hear that line?
They may or may not support the exact same attributes as regular drives, but they definately support smart.
yes but you know fully well that just because something is not on the HCL does not mean it wont' work. The HCL only means that a particular drive has passed netgears validation tests.
@ OP, the drives that come with the device are determined by availability, netgear only uses enterprise level drives in it's business models, so while they may come from different vendors they will still be the enterprise model.
I would be very surprised if 10k or 15k sata drives or ssd's would not work, assuming you can find 2.5" to 3.5" adapters that will work with the device drive cages (cages only support 3.5" drives).

Only drives on the HCL are supported by NetGear.
