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...
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.
Hello
I shall do the same if I find anything new about the Red 10TB Compatibility.
Thanks
Kevin
Strict tests is always done on different HDD brands and models and not all models are always listed on the HCL but as you have mentioned the 10TB reds is within the same family with the 8TB (WD80EFZX) so by that it should work with the RN214 unit you have.
The ReadyNAS HCL might have models not listed but it's more of a list of suggested drives rather than compatible only drives. The warning I would agree should be revised. but the 10TB reds would be working fine with it, 10TB Gold is actually listed.
Hope this helps!
