RN424 Pin3 and Power Disable in new HDD
Greetings Netgear Forums from Australia! Apologies for starting a new thread, but the two that cover the same problem have been closed. Currently my RN424 has 4 x 4TB WD Red Pro disks reachin...
I have never seen any ReadyNAS that has 3.3V going to the SATA backplane at all, and don't know why Netgear would make the 424 any different.
As far as I know, your NAS doesn't put any power on the PWDIS pin.
Also, there are a couple folks who've reported success with your drive model in their ReadyNAS - including one RN422 owner. And as you say, the drives are on the HCL.
Thanks StephenB
Just wondering if there is anyone from Netgear willing to comment at all...
Will have to pull the trigger and test with one drive, hopefully won't need to return!

Have now hot swapped channel 4 with the HGST 10TB Helium drive.
It powered up immediately, was correctly recognised and initialised.
Estimated time to complete resync: 9hrs... and the rest.
Will post back if anything changes.
Thank you both.
Cheers
