Storage Options
I have a Pro 4 (running OS 6.x) I'm looking at and if I decide it's a keeper I'm trying to figure out which storage option I want to go with... 1 - 6TB drive - and expand as I go. 4 - 3TB drives ...

As per the compatibility list of drives for Pro 4, 6 TB drives are not supported: http://www.readynas.com/app/hcl_disk
I do not own a Pro 4, however, I have read here on the ReadyNAS forum that there are Pro users who use 6 TB disks and it works fine. If you plan to use 6 TB drives (as well as for later expansion), an alternative is to put OS 6 into your Pro 4. This requires a reset to factory defaults. Check this forum link as reference: viewtopic.php?f=66&t=79374
Take note that there is NO support if you put OS 6 on your Pro 4. However, you could browse the ReadyNAS forums for references:
