RNDU4000 ReadyNAS Ultra 4 - Max hard disk size
I currently have 4No. 4TB drives in my Ultra 4 NAS configured in raid 10 or Netgear equivalent (Mirrored to give 8TB minus FAT and other system info)... I know that the list of recommended drives does...
The 6 TB drive will work in the ultra; the real issue is that the volume size is limited to 16 TiB, and a volume can't grow more than 8 TiB over its lifetime. That makes the 6 TB drive difficult to use in practice. If you want to switch your ultra to OS6, then it's probably better to migrate the data to the new RN314 first (over the network), and then simply switch it over, and move the data back. Not sure what the goal of your experiment is, but I really don't see much point to it.
On the ultra, you, as long as the original disks are removed (and reinserted) with the NAS powered down, then you shouldn't have any problem getting your data back. It's generally a good idea to label by slot number.
