Seagate 6TB Ironwolf (ST6000VN0041) Incompatible with ReadyNAS disk trays
I took a risk and purchased 4 x 6TB Seagate Ironwolf drives, Model #ST6000VN0041 and unfortunately the mounting holes for the disks are not matched with the trays that come with the ReadyNAS 314. ...
I went ahead and sanded down two of the pins on one disk tray and mounted a hard disk, went through system setup which included a system update to the latest firmware (6.6.0), and so far things appear to be running smooth.
Going to attempt installing the remaining three drives to expand storage.
I did the same thing, I just clipped the "offending" nubs off.
Maybe vote for the idea here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Idea-Exchange-for-ReadyNAS/Update-Disk-Trays-to-handle-newer-disks/idi-p/1166908#M692 (proposing a modified tray design to solve these problems in the future).
Looks like the Netgear has added a pair of mounting holes to the bottom of the tray (near the latch). It looks like these are positioned where the Ironwolf would need them. The RN526X tray is on the right, the older tray (from my RN102) is on the left.
It's be great if there were a way for current NAS owners to buy the new tray.I have the same issue with IronWolf 8TB and RN214
