ReadyNAS Device Compatibility List

Ok, well, now that 4.1.7 is out and supports 4K sector drives, is there any reason to believe that the 2TB Constellation ES drives won't work on the NV+? Better yet, can someone from NETGEAR chime in on this, even if the answer is "unsure"? I know that they read these threads! They're still not on the compatibility list. I really don't want to buy a bunch only to find out they don't work, but I much prefer these drives to the other 2TB choices on the list. Thanks!

These are enterprise class drives and are normally tested on just the rack mount and business units. That being said however they should work OK but to make sure let us install some in an NV+ to make sure. Also I don't think these drives are using the 4K sectors yet, WD is the only drive manufacture really is pushing 4K sector drives throughout their entire line. The other manufactures are not transitioning as quickly. These are expensive drives so unless you absolutely need them right away give us a week or so to check them out.
