    Hi dunkens

     

    WD121KRYZ is not listed as compatible under the ReadyNAS HCL for HDDs. Meaning NETGEAR may deny support if the disks used are not listed or tested as compatible under the HCL.

     

    But regarding if it will work, I can say it will. It's a new model and there's a possibility that the list is not yet updated.

     

    But if you want assurance, other members might have tried using the same model so it would be better if we can wait for their inputs.

     

    Hope this helps!

     

     

    Regards

        Hi dunkens

         

        NETGEAR perform stringent tests before a disk model can be listed as compatible/qualified, I don't have any knowledge on to when the list will be updated.

         

        It's an Enterprise drive with Vibration protection and that is what NETGEAR recommends as well. Plus the 10TB model (WD101KRYZ) is already listed for 526X so it should be fine too.
