    Your NAS model is actually the RN104, which is listed in the model pulldown.  

     

    If you are looking for mechanical drives (as opposed to SSDs), then I suggest ignoring the list, and just get NAS-purposed drives for your ReadyNAS - not desktop class drives.  Generally I recommend WDC Red Plus drives or Seagate Ironwolf.

     

    I don't recommend the current WDC Red drives (EFAX models between 2 and 6 TB) because they are SMR drives, which can create problems in RAID arrays.

     

    Enterprise class drives are another option, but IMO are overkill for an entry-level NAS like the RN104.
