3TB HDD Support Question

Hi, I have a 3TB WD My Book Essential USB 3 and it won't work with the NV+ V2 NAS.

If I purchased a WD Green/RED 3TB Drive and put it into a USB 3 enclosure Will it work?

  • After some experimention, I'm able to mount a 4TB (Seagate ST4000DM000) Drive to the ReadyNAS NV+ v2

    I was able to do this by using a PC running CentOs 6.2, partitioning the drive as a single GPT partition (via parted) and formatting it with the ext4 filesystem.

    I've posted what I did here: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=71331
