Seems to be some confusion on the former on tech line, though ST4000VN000 IS on the compatibility website. The HCL says "NAS HDD ST4000VN000", so I don't know why they are confused. No "-xxxxx" implies all variants. I suspect the 003 will work fine, but the real question is whether Netgear will deny support. They might.

Thanks for the reply. Looking to put together 316 with likely 6 4TB NAS drives. I see many are liking WDC now. Used to be a time when they had the highest failure, but now Seagate seems to have that honor. I could be easily convinced to go with WDCs.

Maybe start with 3 or 4 3TB drives, then expand as needed (and as the 4TB becomes less expensive). XRAID2 is supposed to do that effortlessly, right?

I sent back a 104 recently because support was so bad. Told SOHO/business support is better with 300 series, so looking at the 316.

Got a favorite drive in the 3-4TB range?
