The drives don't have to be identical, as long as they are the same size. In fact there are people who think mix-and-match is more reliable.
Stick to the HCL (http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20641) as Netgear will deny support if you don't. The 7200.14 is on the list, the 7200.12 is not.
Your signature says "duo", not RN102 btw, You might want to update it, as people often tailor their responses based on the signature.
