Seagate Enterprise ST8000NM0055 8TB on Readynas Pro/Pro6
I have inherited what I believe is a ReadyNAS 6 Pro. The model is listed simply as RND-6B. I was wondering if any of the Seagate Enterprise or NAS 8TB offerings such as the ST8000NM0055 would work ...
RAIDiator 4.2.16 allows for drives larger than 2 TB to be used by using GPT partitioning instead of MBR -- the last version of RAIDiator 4.2 is 4.2.28, and it should technically support 8 TB drives even though no drives are on the compatiblity list (since we wouldn't have tested unreleased drives during the development cycle of RAIDiator 4.2).
I'm not a money tree so I haven't purchased any 8TB drives to try this out though myself, but I don't see where the problem would be.
