WD40EFRX WD Red 4tb For ReadyNAS104?
Hi Guys, i know the new 4tb red WD40EFRX is pretty "new" to the market. Has anyone tried one of these on the netgear readynas 104? i'm thinking to get one these..
I think someone managed to get some seagate 6Tb model recognised. viewtopic.php?f=24&t=77600
So I think 4Tb is safe unless you hit the 4Tb expansion limit or the 16Tb volume limit of older OS. I believe that they have not updated the compatibility list for everything. I think the WD RED WD30EFRX is on the compatibility list, if 6Tb models are recognised and the drive is recognised in another capacity, assuming that the 4Tb model works is reasonable, not certain but reasonable. That said there is still the warranty problem, Netgear can deny support for non-supported drive.
