ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition Hard Drive
I'm looking for the compatibility list for hard drives, specifically for legacy products. I have a hard drive in a Business Pro that's had increasing reallocated sector counts. Does the compatibility list still exist? I have not been able to find it.
Also, I upgraded this Business Pro to 6.6.0 last year and it's been working fine. I see there is a newer version, 6.6.1. I generally like to keep OSs current, but I'm leary because it's such an old unit and I know it's not supposed to officially support 6.6.n. I'd like to hear if anyone else has one of these older units from 6.6.0 to 6.6.1.
Thank you in advance.

I have a legacy ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus, which boots up and shows the model as "ReadyNAS Pro." Since its release, I have been using OS 6.6.1 (Plex app only and antivirus off) without any issues. Certain apps and Antivirus on seem to have been a problem for others.
The HCL for legacy products appears to be updated no longer. In addition to what is shown on the dormant HCL, I have successfully used HGST 8TB (HUH728080ALE600) and just started using 10TB (HUH721010ALE600) drives in the Ultra 6 Plus/"Pro."

Choose "Legacy" at bottom of dropdown list, then select device from additional dropdown list.
Thank you for the informationand for the link. I feel fortunate that the old Business Pro (or is it Pro Business?) seems to be working well. It doesn't get much use, but it's nice to know it's there should there be the need.
Thanks again.
