Diskless Storage Systems
If you purchased a ReadyNAS storage system without a preinstalled disk drive or drives, you
must add at least one disk your system before you use the system. You can add a 3.5-inch
hard disk drive, a 2.5-inch hard disk drive, or a 2.5-inch solid state drive to an empty drive
bay. For information about how to install a disk, see
Add a Disk on page 96.
Use only supported SATA hard disk drives (HDD) or solid state drives (SSD) in your
ReadyNAS storage system. If you use disks that are not supported, NETGEAR technical
support will not provide assistance. For a list of supported disks, see the NETGEAR
Hardware Compatibility List at
http://www.netgear.com/readynas-hcl.
If you are adding a previously formatted disk to your storage system, see the instructions in
Previously Formatted Disks on page 94.
