WD RED WD30EFRX not supported in the ReadyNAS 516?
Why on earth are the 1 and 2 TB versions of the RED supported, but not the 3 TB? The 3TB runs in the Pro 6, what makes them unstable in the 516? Thanks.Peet

Other brands have compatibility lists too. Not all HDDs are suitable for use in RAID arrays. Disk manufacturers have said as such. WD doesn't support using their Green disks in NAS models with more than two drive bays
