Best 2TB Replacement for a ReadyNAS NV+ (v1) with Warranty?
Alright I know this is legacy kit, and EOL, and most of the 2TB drives on the HCL are EOL too... but I would like to replace my drives as they fail (one already has) with the best Warrantied 2TB drive...
I'm shocked that Amazon sent you used drives as new. Was this Amazon directly, or one of their partners? If you have documentation, you should complain and ask for a refund. I usually purchase drives from Amazon (direct not their partners) and have never seen anything like that.
I replaced a drive in my duo v1 a couple months ago. I went with a WD20EFRX (since I use WDC Red in my newer NAS). It works fine, and has a 3 year warranty. I don't recall seeing any posts from users going with an ST2000VN000, but it likely works as well.
If you are looking for the 5 year warranty, maybe try the WD2001FFSX (WDC Red Pro).
I'm using my NV+ v1 and duo v1 for backup, and they are still fast enough for that. The bigger problem is that they are maxed on capacity. I do plan to retire them as the drives fail, but I'm not in a rush. I might still replace a drive or two along the way, depending on budget.
