RN104 - Maximum Capacity
Hi,
I have an RN104 running the latest software.
Would there be a problem and an inability to give it 4 x 6Tb Hard Drives? Or even 8Tb Drives.
I want to increase the back up capacit...
Part of the point of mentioning 10TB disks is that if you do get 6TB/8TB disks there is still some potential there for future volume expansion.
Third try: Yes, with the considerations noted above.
The hard drive compatibility list is here: https://kb.netgear.com/20641/ReadyNAS-Hard-Disk-Compatibility-List
Both the WD60EFRX and the WD80EFZX work well. If you go with Seagate, the best options are the Ironwolf ST6000VN and ST8000VN models (digits after the VN don't matter). With the Seagates you will have to remove the tooless plastic inserts in the drive tray.
