Re: Drive Support for ReadyNAS RN10400

I need the drive compatibility list for a ReadyNAS RN10400.
I cannot find the listing at:
https://kb.netgear.com/20641/ReadyNAS-Hard-Disk-Compatibility-List
Netgear forgot about it on their list and do not want to PAY for support when they missed the model on their list. If someone can find the support I need on their page then I will eat crow and admit it is my fault.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Your NAS model is actually the RN104, which is listed in the model pulldown.
If you are looking for mechanical drives (as opposed to SSDs), then I suggest ignoring the list, and just get NAS-purposed drives for your ReadyNAS - not desktop class drives. Generally I recommend WDC Red Plus drives or Seagate Ironwolf.
I don't recommend the current WDC Red drives (EFAX models between 2 and 6 TB) because they are SMR drives, which can create problems in RAID arrays.
Enterprise class drives are another option, but IMO are overkill for an entry-level NAS like the RN104.

Hi brucechidester,
Welcome to the Community!
The ReadyNAS RN104 is in the dropdown when I checked it on my end.
