The ReadyDATA platform only accepts HDDs and SSDs that operate with 512N sector size. Drives that are 512E or 4K will NOT work on ReadyDATA OS. As of ReadyDATA OS 1.4.4, you can purchase and use your own HDDs and SSDs as long as they meet this requirement. Using unsupported drives will not be allowed by the device and will report as "unsigned" in the Dashboard. If you are unsure if the disks you have are 512N formatted, please refer to drive vendor specifications, such as a data sheet. When searching for drives, avoid drives with Advanced Format (AF) labeling.
The below table lists ReadyDATA compatible hard drives. There may be drives not on this list that are 512N also. Use at your own discretion.
If you require disk trays for your ReadyDATA, the part numbers are as follows:
- RD5200 3.5" disk tray: NETGEAR part number RTRAY01-10000S / Supermicro part number MCP-220-00024-0B.
- RDD516 3.5" disk tray: NETGEAR part number 290-10217-01.
