ReadyNAS RN3138 supported drives and MAX drive capacity

Hello!

Could you please tell,

What is the maximum drive capacity to use with ReadyNAS 3138? Where can I get the list of supported drive models?

 

Thank you!

OS 6 Does not have any expansion limit so Yes that will to be accepted. The 32TB Raw Capacity max is based on 8TB drives which is the highest cap available at that time.

 

RN3138 can accommodate a number of 16TB models so you won't have any issues with the 12TB 🙂

RN3138 runs on OS6 so it should be able to accept the current models with 16TB cap or higher. There is a Hardware Compatibility/Recommended list available here. It is not consistently updated due to the time the tests takes  but you can check out the maximum capacity and disk model available for your RN3138

@Marc_V 

Thank you.

I'm currently using 4x6TB Seagates in RAID10, the goal is to expand the total capacity twice. So the intention is to replace the drives with 12TB ones and get total 24TB RAID10 volume. 

 

Is that capacity supported? in tech specs there is written something like max raw capacity 32TB
