Biggest drive on Duo still 2TB?
Even unsupported? I have an old Duo with 2x2TB HDs and was wondering if 3 or 4TBs would work. Was planning on using is as a backup to my RN202 NAS.
rsync is computationally challenging for the duo.
The fastest way to migrate your data to the duo is to use NFS with frontview backup. Then edit the backup job, and change the protocol to rsync. Then run it again (the second pass should be extremely fast).
That gives you the fastest speed for the initial transfer, combined with the greater efficiency of rsync for incremental backups.

If I already have 3TB drives, cant it just ignore the last TB?
So I guess I have to return them?
Thanks

Not on internal drives. It might be possible to manually partition an external drive that way (using MBR)
I have a ReadyNAS Duo model RND2150-100NAS. Per the compatibility charts a Seagate Barracuda, model ST3000DM001 is compatible in my device. However, it keeps showing up as a DEAD drive in my FrontView. Anybody know why it is listed as workable, but doesn't work?
