Ready for expansion (RN Pro Pioneer Edition)-Seeking Advice
Hi Everyone. I purchased and setup my Readynas Pro Pioneer around Jan 2010. Aside from one disk issue (increasing errors, which Seagate replaced under warranty) it has been a nice experience. I ...
OK, back to this project after a little episode with a bad power supply (that is another thread).
I am starting to settle on the idea of upgrading (bays 5 and 6) with two 3TB's. I reviewed articles on WD Red, Seagate NAS and Hitachi HGST. The following is one of several writeups I have come across.
First, I know the Netgear HCL only lists the WD Red, not the other two.
Second, as the article points out, WD and Seagate both state their HD's are from 1-5 Bay units. Does this mean if I go with the HCL'd WD Red in my 6-Bay RNPP unit, there could a good chance I will run into issues?
What are folks' thoughts of going w/ the Hitachi's, even though Netgear has not added this model to the HCL. Hitachi seems to have a very good track record, so I am thinking it is only a matter of time before it gets added to the HCL list. I am all for reliability and stability, install and 'forget about it'.
