ReadyNas Pro 6 Upgrade Recommendations
Hello, I currently use a Pro 6 (4.2.26), with 6x3TB drives using X-RAID2 (with dual redundancy). I'm nearing 70% capacity and I'm trying to plan for my next upgrade path. Any advice and answers you...

I was looking at the Seagate's STBD6000100. Unfortunately they dont' have the data sheet posted yet for this model and I'm unable to find it elsewhere. I was concerned by this thread (http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=76014&p=423272&hilit=6TB#p423272) and also a similar qnap thread which states the Seagates are in excess of 11 watts. But the spec sheet for Seagate's 5TB states 5.60W as the average operating power.
So I'm a little confused. But my suspicion is the desktop 6TB model (STBD6000100) will use 7-8 and the enterprise models use quite a bit more power. Does anyone know the per drive power limits of the Pro 6?
