ReadyNas Due v2 HardDisk compatibility list won't show
I got a used Diskless ReadyNas Due v2 for whatever reason the list of supported harddrives won't show up. I tried a few times I can choose the model of the NAS and some information about the Harddrives but it won't display a single drive. Is it possible to access the list in a diffrent way?
Can anyone recommend HardDrives for me I am looking for something which doesn't need to be fast but reliable in the range of 2-4 TB
Thanks

First confirm that you actually have a v2 - lots of v1 owners think they have a v2 because the labeling is quite confusing. If you are running 5.3.x firmware, you have a v2. 4.1.x firmware means you have a v1. There is also a guide here: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/
Model identification is very important in your case, because the v1 is limited to 2 TB max disk size.
The HCL is indeed broken for all models at the moment - I have sent a PM.
Western Digital Red drives are safe choices, as are Seagate Ironman (VN) drives. Both are purposed for NAS. I don't recommend desktop drives, and see no real benefit to enterprise-class drives in a duo v2.
Thanks etherflash and StephenB for letting us know. We are looking into why the Hard Disk Compatibility List is not working. I'll post an update when the issue has been resolved. Thank you for your patience! kohdee, in the meantime can you help this user out in determining which disks would be compatible with his model? Thanks!
I will temporarily revert a change back that I made on the HCL that'll resolve the HCL not loading properly until I can get another couple of changes made to make it work more seamlessly.
Edit: it is reverted. I should get the rest of it fixed tomorrow.
P.s. http://www.readynas.com/app/hcl_disk always works, too :)
