2TB non 4K drives - Where to buy?
I have a Readynas NV+ running the latest firmware which currently uses 4x 1.5 TB drives in an X-raid configuration. I would really like to expand my volume using 4x 2 TB drives as I am right up agains...
My problem is that a lot of the drives listed as compatible appear to have shifted to using 4K sectors with little to no announcement of that fact. I am really hesitant to shell out $$$ without explicitly knowing in advance, especially as a lot of these drives listed on Amazon are actually being sold by oddball 3rd parties with mixed customer response.
Some of those Hitachi enterprise drives which are presumably still compatible are $220-240 each. New 2TB HDDs with 4k sectors are like $80. For that price, I could buy a new Readynas Ultra 4 and 4x 2TB HDDs.
I am basically looking for someone to comment "I bought these drives at this store a week ago and can confirm they are 512b drives."
