ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition and large (6TB) WD disks

Hi forum, I have the above mentioned device and am interested to max it out in terms of disk space. I can see that Western Digital has got a Red NAS disk out that is 6TBs in size (WD60EFRX), however that disk in not on the HCL for my device. Does anyone know whether this disk will work on my ReadyNAS? Obviously I am going off the HCL, but am unsure to what extent that would cause problems. To be honest, I am not keen to have my problems with my NAS but at the same time, I find the HCL for the Pro Pioneer a bit out of date as there are now disks with bigger sizes available. Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks.

Have you done the upgrade yet with the WD Red 6TB drives yet? I'm looking to do the same upgrade with 6 WD Red 6TB drives in Raid 5 which will yield ~28GB. I'll upgrade the OS at the same time.
Is OS 6.2 even compatible with the ReadyNas Pro Pioneer? I can't seem to find a definite answer.

Thanks.
