Above post re the drives working may relate to the Pro or higher version of Readynas. I have spent the last 2 hours with tech support who inform me that the drives are not on the HCL. They advised that the engineers have been informed of the issue and are working on adding them but there is no guarantee it will be in the next firmware release or if it ever will be resolved. Their suggestion was to upgrade to the Intel based Readynas Pro.
Further to this I have added 4 x ST2000DM001 2Tb drives after running 4 x 500gig drives. I added them one by one and they ended up all syncing and updating perfectly. The only problem is that he drive space is still 1500gig not the 6000gig it should be with xRaid. Now I will reboot the NAS and see if it does come up like the guy above mentioned but I very much doubt it.
