WD Red Plus drive WD140EFGX compatibility with ReadyNAS 2304 and ReadyNAS 102
Hello, I'm writing here because I have to buy a new drive for my ReadyNAS 2304 and I started to think about the WD Red Plus series. I expecially found a good offer for the WD140EFXGX drive, but I...
The Red Plus series as a whole is compatible - I have several 3 TB, 6 TB, 8 TB, and 10 TB Red Plus in my various ReadyNAS.
Netgear doesn't update the HCL very often. Generally any NAS-purposed CMR SATA drive or Enterprise class SATA drive will work.

I use for other purposes another ReadyNAS too, the older 102 model, could be this WD Red Plus drives series compatible whit this old model too?
The RN102 can handle 14 TB drives, but it is the least capable OS-6 ReadyNAS - with the slowest processor and least memory. The sync time will be very slow. You might consider using jbod instead of RAID-1 - losing RAID protection, but avoiding the slow sync.
The entire Red Plus line is compatible with your 2304. I don't recall the mounting screw configuration on those particular caddies. But I think four mount holes will line up, and at least two will, which is enough.
