Hello, I have a ReadyNAS Pro 6 with 4 ST32000644NS 2TB drives. I'd like to fully populate my ReadyNAS, but these drives are no longer current. The hardware compatibility list only lists two Seagate Constellation 2TB drives. This one and the ST2000NM0011, which is also old (and I believe is just ES, not ES2). There are no newer drives in the list.
Am I best to try and track down two of these drives (ST32000644NS) somewhere or can I use the newer versions of these drives? What risks am I taking if I do that? It looks like there is a ST32000645NS which appears to be a newer version of the Constellation ES2 drive. Would I be safe to use that?
Hmm, so I'm basically stuck. I really don't want to be in an unsupported state. So there is basically no currently supported 2TB Seagate Constellation drive then (unless I track down an old one I guess). Looks like I can find the ES series drive out there, the ST2000NM0011, more than the old model ES.2. So maybe I'll try those. Just worries me to buy the older drives. Maybe I'll open a support ticket too on it. Thanks.'
