ReadyNAS DUO RND2000 V2 Hard Drive Compatability List Needed
Netgear no longer seems to post a list of compatible hard drives that work with their legacy ReadyNas Duo devices. In the past, I could go to their following link at:
https://kb.netgear.com/20641/ReadyNAS-Hard-Disk-Compatibility-List
But when I go to that link and scroll down to find a list of hard drives, I find the message below listed on the web page instead of a list of compatible hard drives. Can anyone tell me where I can obtain the needed kist.

There's just an issue with the web site - you can't see the HCL for any model, including current ones. You can use this link instead: https://www.readynas.com/app/hcl_disk
BUT the HCL hasn't been updated for legacy NAS in a very long time. So it isn't helpful if you are looking for a drive replacement.
I recommend ignoring the HCL, and using either Western Red drives or Seagate IronWolf drives. You could use enterprise disks also, but I don't think you'll see any performance benefit with your NAS.

Stephen, you are awesome. Thanks so much for your super fast reply. The working link you gave to the hard drive compatability list was exactly what I needed.
