OS6.2 on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!

However, if you install disks that are not on the HCL, Netgear will almost always deny support - even if those drives are working well.

I think that's a given and they aren't going to support OS 6 on the old school hardware. It's more trying to understand the logic than suggesting or recommending certain drives. Not sure but this is perhaps what I read previously... although I also read where a NAS vendor virtually blessed the green drives if using two or less... can't find that link right now.

WD desktop hard drives (WD Blue, Green, or Black) have been tested and are recommended for consumer RAID applications when using the drives in a RAID 0 (Stripe) or RAID 1 (Mirror) configuration.

However, there are several things to keep in mind when setting up a RAID with these drives:

- WD only recommends using a Desktop drive in a RAID array with no more than two (2) drives (Raid 0 or Raid 1 only).
- WD is unable to provide direct technical support for setting up RAID arrays for either hardware or software arrays.
- Support for your RAID array can be obtained from one of several sources:
--- If you are setting up a hardware array it is best to contact the manufacturer of your RAID controller or motherboard manufacturer.
--- If you are setting up a software array you can contact the publisher of your RAID software.
--- The publisher of your Operating System (OS) (Usually Apple, or Microsoft) can provide support for the use of a hardware or software RAID configuration within that OS.
- Before connecting a drive to an array, you should verify that the drive is functioning properly. Please use Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for DOS (floppy), or Windows Data Lifeguard Diagnostics to perform a test on the drive prior to installation.
