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've been running them in a 314 for three weeks now with no issues. I figured since all three of the smaller ones, a black 4TB desktop and the 4TB RE were listed, it would eventually make the list. We'll see what happens over the long haul.

Evan, I reported a problem with the WD40EFRX drives in my Pro Pioneer and Ultra 2 Plus:

https://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=73417: The drive's Idle3 timer is set to 0x50 (8 seconds), so the Load Cycle Count (SMART attribute 193) increases very rapidly: It will reach its rated limit in just a few months.

Have you seen that problem with the RN104?

Any idea when you'll know / when they'll be added to compatibility list ?

On the verge of buying a RN104 - and I've come to trust WD drives so would prefer them over the Seagates. (But don't want the expense of the Blacks/Enterprise disks)

We are testing in this weekly.
Factory default with 4 pcs WD40EFRX on RN104, it seems OK, I need to do more testing.
