ReadyNAS Device Compatibility List

Hi,

I noticed that the compatibility list indicates the D-Link DGS-1008D as incompatible but it doesn't say why.
I'm using the D-Link DGS-1008D with an NV+ and it seems to work.
But having read the compatibility list, I'm now unsure if there is any problem I'm not noticing.

Can someone tell me what is incompatible about the D-Link DGS-1008D?
Cheers!

I've been using the same switch since July with no apparent problem.

That's comforting to know Elvis85. Thanks.

Does anyone know what the actual complaint against the DLink DGS-1008D was?
Performance or any problem with Jumbo Frames perhaps?

I'm using a couple of DGS-1005D units connected by regular Cat5 cables. I get peak speeds around 26-27 MB/s to and from my NV+. Don't know if that is good or bad though really, but I'm guessing it's fairly normal.

It sure is taking a long time!

Yes, and I'm running out of space !
I don't want to use EADS drives, I want the enterprise WD2002FYPS support on NV+
Any idea when?

+1

i'm running out of space myself and waiting for the WD20EADS to be officially supported

Hopefully when 4.1.7 comes out, whenever that is. It could be a while. I remember reading somewhere on the forums that December was a possible time for release of the 4.1.7 beta (I think), but it could have changed since then.

Hopefully a Jedi can comment?

D-Link DGL-4100 wired router works fine. This is actually the same router as the DGL-4300 that is already on the HCL, but the 4300 has wireless as well.

Can I get some more specifics here ?

I bought a brand new RND4000 and four WD20EADS at the end of July. After two successive drive "failures" I realized something was up and read all about how I was actually a western digital beta tester.

So now I've been staring at a $2500 paperweight for 4 months now.

This is not trivial - I can't just blow $2500 and walk away. Further, I'm running an increasingly risky backup scenario because I can't use the NAS I bought, but have no budget to replace it.

When will I get to use the equipment I bought four months ago ?

I understand your issue, but its exactly why I recommend buying disks on the HCL. It's also a major reason why, although I love to buy diskless units (I've got two of the RND4000) so I can choose my own disks, NetGear is keen on selling ReadyNas with disks pre-installed as these come with disks on the HCL and limits the chances of this kind of situation occurring.

Buying disks before they're added to the HCL is not recommended as even if they are added in the future it can be difficult if not impossible to predict when they'll be added. Things can go wrong and NetGear will not add disks to the HCL until they are satisfied that they are compatible. There must still be an outstanding compatibility issue. These things take time to get sorted out.

Hopefully NetGear is working with WD and will come out with a solution soon, hopefully Solo or someone else from NetGear can comment. You may wish to give Solo a PM (if you haven't already).
