Diskless Storage System
If you purchased a ReadyNAS storage system without a preinstalled disk drive or drives, you 
must add at least one disk to 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 disk bay. 
For information about how to install a disk, see 
29.
Use only supported SATA hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs) 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 
If you are adding a previously formatted disk to your storage system, see the instructions in
