I don't think they'll test these drives on all the legacy devices unfortunately.

Well, its understandable that they might not want to do all the older stuff, but there are some models like the NV+ V2 , Duo V2 and Pro6 that are still available as brand new. Surely its not unreasonable to expect that these would be included?
Especially as (in the Uk at least) there only seems to be TWO consumer/prosumer lines of dedicated NAS drives commonly available - WD Red and the Seagate NAS range. Surely it wouldn't hurt to get just these TWO lines included ??

What are firms like Synology and Qnap doing with these new NAS specific drives? how far back do they test?

Note - I just looked at the synology site for compatibility with the 3TB seagate NAS version ST3000VN000. This is the list - but I'm not familiar with how old this range is. Can anyone comment?
