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 166.

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 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 165.
