ReadyNAS Device Compatibility List

Just take a chance and install some of the drives not on the list that other have had success with anyway. Surely anything that is critically importance you backup on a seperate portable USB drive ? I currently have an NVX with 4 x 1.5TB Samsung drives and a Duo with 2 x 1TB drives in Raid 1 for backup and I use a couple of original 500Gb Seagate drives that came with each NAS as USB backup.

I've been using Samsung drives ie, 1TB and then 1.5TB eco drives over the last 2 years without a problem, I had a problem with one of the original Seagate drives that Netgear included with the Duo.

As someone who JUST got their ReadyNAS Duo today, this compatibility list is horrid. Most of the drives on here are from 2007, and I am trying to find drives at my local Best Buy to avoid having to ship them (as I have been told that can lead to drive failures). The problem is, very few drives are at Best Buy, and zero of them are the ones I am looking for. I am sure, if it was updated more frequently, more drives available for purchase now would be available. As it stands, I think I am going to have to take the hour drive to MicroCenter.
