This should be interresting to have clearer recommandations on the HDD, type of partition and so on just to save users time and NG's!

Hi aalexandrebeta,
Unfortunately there is no official release of compatible USB drives for the the ReadyNAS. Such a list would be difficult to administer, and keep updated.
This was stated on ReadyNAS OS 6: USB Port use.

Brwosing topics on this community makes me think that there is a lack of precise and clear recommendations on that matter.
Often WD and SG casing use a proprietary program and their own way to configure witch disturb NG a bit. On the contrary generic equipment do not have those issues. When people have 2, 3 partitions on their drives it messes it a bit!
I am a bit a pain in the botom but having to deal with parents and relatives a bit grumpy they need a procedure!
So clear steps and precise instruction would avoid some mess!!
Regards!

Hi aalexandrebeta,
You have some good points there, if you have not done so; it might be best if you can also post this on our Idea Exchange for ReadyNAS.
