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. ...
doesn't that defeat the purpose of "toolless"? And it is not easy to remove the frame.
Well it is a workaround so that you can use these disks with the tray and the screws you already have.
Will Netgear provide an updated tray in the future?

As the newer high capacity disks with the different layout are becoming more affordable and as more users are ready to expand their volumes with higher capacity disks I understand that this will be a concern for some, but you can follow these instructions for inserting High Capacity Disks into the Old Style Tray for OS6 units.
Newly built OS6 units ship with a redesigned tray that will work toolless with new high capacity disks. This tray is backwards compatible with older OS6 units. Please note that OS6 trays won't fit in legacy units that shipped with RAIDiator firmware.
There's more to say about this 3-hole issue.
You can't just remove the plastic tray. I did it, and tried for one hour to have my disks DETECTED. Yet, there were blue lights. Very misleading.
Finally, I connected one disk manually, with no trail at all. Then it worked.
So, the only right solution is to span down that sh...ty middle hole.
Netgear is doing a very poor job.
