ReadyNAS Hard Disk Compatibility List - updates?
When does the H/W compatability list get updated?
Currently only the Toshiba 6TB 'E' version is specifically listed (MG04ACAxxxE MG04ACA600E), while for all the smaller sizes have the non 'E' shown as compatible, e.g. 5TB (MG04ACAxxxx MD04ACA500).
Or as they are shown as MG04ACAxxxx does that mean the MG04ACA600 (6TB non-E) is covered by the xxxx?

Hello Michael_Oz,
What's the model number of your NAS?
Months ago, I heard that instead of updating the list with new HDDs, there is plan of releasing HNCL which means Hardware NOT compatible list.

Hello Michael_Oz,
I'll check if there's an update about the HNCL.
