You trust us to protect your data so we take it upon ourselves to list only drives that have passed our stringent disk qualification test. Because of that, you will not see all available drives here rather only the ones that are proven to show acceptable reliability in our lab. That said, if you will be using the ReadyNAS in a business-critical environment, we recommend drives with Rotation Vibration Safeguard feature to provide an extra level of security from premature drive failures. These drives typically also come with a 5-year warranty which matches the 5-year warranty on your business-class ReadyNAS devices.
WARNING: Be sure to use only drives recommended in the compatibility list, otherwise, NETGEAR Technical Support can and will deny support.
Bought 1st on list Caviar Green WD20EARS 1.5TB (my error-wanted 2TB) for $80 all in from Amazon Prime 2/11. 2TB was prolly $100-110. BEFORE FLOODS. 3yr warranty according to Netgear. According to Amazon newer model = Western Digital Caviar Green 2 TB Desktop Hard Drive WD20EARX $120 - 3rd gen SATA, but not explicitly SATA III. I have a 2TB Seagate Green sata III - faster than my Hitachi 7200 RPM.
