I think it's time for Netgear to step up to the plate and help with a solution.
From my perspective, I bought a NAS device with disks on Netgear's compatibility list. Then, retroactively, Netgear declared those disks incompatible. Sure, Seagate disks had a firmware bug.

Because right now, we're stranded.
