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...

Of course if you are running with no backups, then your data is generally at risk.
BTW, I had horrible reliability with Seagate drives in the past, so I switched to WD!
For ST4000NV000 it specifically says:
Seagate NAS HDDs provide the best-performing, highest-capacity storage for 1- to 5-bay NAS systems.
Mine is 6 bay, wonder if that means anything.
What I do is I usually get 2 extra drives just in case.
Wonder if that would be a problem with ST4000NV000 which is a NAS-specific drive in the future.
On the other hand ST4000DM000 being a desktop drive can be found more easily.
For ex. Newegg doesn't currently have that NAS drive, nor Seagate (its page can be reached from Google but not from Seagate
http://www.seagate.com/internal-hard-drives/
but it exists here:
http://www.seagate.com/internal-hard-drives/nas-drives/
.....that's what I meant.
Wonder if that's an abandoned line?
