    Hi sgleon99,

     

    It is alright to use a mix of WD20EARS and WD20EFRX disks in your NAS as long as the drives are listed in the compatibility list.  It will just be fine.  :smileyhappy:

     

     

    Regards,

The WD Green drives including EARS are not recommended even though they are on the HCL. I would definitely go with the WD Red disks or the Seagate NAS drives.
