Western Digital WD30EZRX on Pionner Ed.

[Frederic2]

Please,
Can somebody tell me if the following disk works with ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition ?
Western Digital Caviar Blue WD30EZRX 3 TB 6Gb/s 64 MB

In the HCL I can see :
Western Digital Caviar Green WD30EZRS 3 TB 3Gb/s 64 MB
But my model differs about the transfer speed at 6Gb/s.

In this forum I've found references about this disk but for the other ReadyNas versions.

I'm confused if this disk can work with my current config.

My NAS :
ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition firmware RAIDiator 4.2.17

Thanks,
Frederic

It may/may not work. SATA III is backwards compatible and anyway the WD30EZRX probably doesn't even saturate SATA II. However there may be more differences under the hood that render the WD30EZRX incompatible. If you have issues using a disk that is not on the compatibility list NetGear will deny support.
