Readynas 214 compatible with the WD Red 10TB HDD?
Hello all
I am looking to upgrade the storage in my RN214 which currently has WD RED 5TB HDDs.
I was looking at the WD RED 8TB HDD but noticed there is now a 10TB RED, however the 10TB RED is not shown on the HDD Compatibility List for the RN214.
Since it is the same family of HDD I assume it should be compatible, however I would like to confirm compatibility first.
Does anyone know if the 10TB RED is compatible with the RN214?
Thanks in advance
Kevin

Not that I know of. They don't do the disk certification themselves, so the most they could do is forward your query.
douglas_cheung - any chance that these disks will be certified in our lifetimes? :smileywink:
Hello Kevin - did you end up finding the answer to your question? I have the ReadyNAS 214 and I want to install the WD Red 10TB (5400) drive so was curious if that worked for you. Thanks.
Hello
Unfortunately I have not been able to find any answer to this question.
I have decided to hold off on upgrading my HDD until I can get a clear answer.
Sorry I could not of more help.

Thank you, for your prompt response. I have been reading the stats on device reliability, and I think 10TB is still too "new" to be using. I might just go with the 8TB to be on the safe side.
I'll let you know if I find something new on the 10TB drive compatibility with the RN214.
