Ultra 2 - Hard Disk Please need help!!!

Hello,
please tell me which hard disk fits best to my new Netgear Ultra 2 Nas.
I had already had a look at the compatibility list, but there are different from several companies.

Thank you in advance for your replies.

Greetz,

  • I would decide how much storage you want and then select an available drive from the HCL that is of that size. Some user don't like Seagate, some don't like WD. I have a mix of Seagate and Hitachi drives.
  • I want 2 TB Hard Disk...think the 3 TBs are too expensive at the moment.
    Mmmmm...I guess i will buy Seagate...5900 rpm...but the Western Digital will do 7200 rpm...
    I got to know that Netgear distribute the Readynas Ultra 2 with Seagate (Barracuda LP ST2000DL003 ) Hard Disks Packages...does that mean that Seagate fits best?

    Regards,

  • I have had good service with my Seagates, but most of the ones in my NAS units are 1TB (ST31000528AS) drives with the other drives being Hitachi 3TB HDS5C3030ALA630.
