I can give you a partial answer.

 

  • I have a ReadyNAS 4 Ultra (RNDU4000) running OS6.6.1
  • 4 x 6TB WD60EFRX

Here's Netgear's RAID size estimate calculator.  It only offers 6TB drives, but you might be able to estimate for 8TB drives:  http://rdconfigurator.netgear.com/raid/index.html

 

Not sure if that data is of any use to you, but figured I'd offer it up as you try to find a solution.
