ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus.... 18TB -> 24TB
Hi, Currently using 6x3TB Seagate 3TB ST3000DM001 drives on a ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus. Not a very good drive though imo, had already 2 bad ones, curiously both were in slot No.2 of the NAS... wondered...

I suggest you consider the ST4000NV000 instead of the DM. You'll get a drive intended for NAS, and a 3-year warranty instead of 1-year. I generally go with WDC, not seagate myself, so I don't have personal experience with the Seagate NAS drives.
There are expansion limits in x-raid2 - you'll need to answer mdgm's questions to find out when you will hit them. If you are running single-redundancy x-raid2, then the answer is "no". So start with there.
