WD30EFRX 3TB "Red Series"
Has anyone tried any of the RED series? I am looking to get the 3TB model for an NV+ v2. It is listed as compatible, but has anyone tried it themselves? Thanks.

Good news:
Please don't purchase drives or use them in your ReadyNAS till they are qualified. It's possible they may not pass NetGear's extensive testing though with the 1TB drive qualified on the NV+ (v1) it does look promising. Considering that these drives are designed for NAS use they are less likely to have compatibility issues than e.g. WD's Green disks.
