Been using them in my Duo v2 and work fine for me as far as I can tell from my use so far.
However that is certainly not definitive and if you have issues with these drives support can and will deny support.
NetGear extensively tests drives. This takes time and is quite expensive. So one can conclude that one of the following is true:
1. Disk failed testing and is no longer being tested.
2. Disk failed testing and issues are being addressed.
3. Disk is currently being tested and no issues have been encountered yet.
4. NetGear has not tested this disk
It doesn't matter which of these is true. NetGear can and will deny support if you have issues.
The Duo v2 (RND2000-200 - arm ReadyNAS running RAIDiator 5.3.x) has very different hardware to the Ultra 2 (RNDU2000 - x86 ReadyNAS running RAIDiator 4.2.x) and also the Duo v1 (RND2000-100 - Sparc ReadyNAS running RAIDiator 4.1.x)
