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...

Yeah, I hear you.

Even an entry level RN104 is 2x-3x faster than the NV+, and for $600 you can get one with new 3x3 TB drives - same capacity and an empty slot for expansion). Or go with a SAN device like you are thinking.
I am thinking that if drives fail one by one I'll decommission the duo first, and migrate those drives into the NV+. Perhaps later on, reset as jbod with the drives that remain.
As you say, its been a workhorse. But I'm not planning to invest a lot of money in a v1 NAS at this point in its life.
