RN716 Hard Disk Compatibility
Does anyone have experience with populating the ReadyNAS RN716 with 14TB Western Digital Red Pro drives. They are not listed on the RN716 HD compatibility list, but there is a WDC 14TB DC-HC530 WUH7...
Yes, all true. thanks....
re: apps I agree 100% no WAN access allowed for the LAN storage. I just would like to run some backup and media server apps that stay local.
WDC has a deal now discounting the Red Pros, probably about to introduce the next gen. I have until 4/28 to pull the trigger.
What I don't have is the time to research a new vendor.
I need to get the 20 or so TB off the 716 as I like to fully populate the 716 and then run several days of disk test before loading it up.
Thanks for your comments, and have a good week.
cheers

I only use my ReadyNAS for LAN storage (I don't run apps on them, and I do not allow connections to them over the internet).
I am planning to continue to use them for the forseeable future.
So if the 716 still meets your needs, I'd recommend replacing the disk (perhaps going with a pair of arger size if you want to increase the capacity).

Netgear has shut down the apps, the cloud, and other stuff. Are they slimming it down to sell?
Probably too late for that now. The newest platform was launched in 2017.
Yes, all true. thanks....
