Readynas 526x 12 tb hds ??
Hi Is there anyone that can confirm that WD Gold WD121KRYZ 256MB 12TB is working with the RN526X ??
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!

Its been on the market quite some time , is there any eta on the list for the hardware that is working with the 526 ?
IF something aint working im sitting with 3 x 12 tb and no support :((
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.

Hi
But i belive that the drive is working , but its the support option that is more a "problem"
As netgear dosent give any support while using that drive
It seems that netgear is falling behind , the drives should be certified as soon they hit the market if you ask me .
Hi dunkens
Your ReadyNAS system is still supported, NETGEAR may deny support for non listed drives if the problem is caused by the disks.
Usually this is seen on the logs. But again Support will always be there to assist.
12TB drives are just emerging and I'm sure tests are being done for each model already so we can expect this models to be added on the lists anytime soon.
Hope this helps!
