Does anyone have 5.3.2 firmware for NV+ v2?
Hi,
I am having the same problem as lots of other people with the NV+2 and WD30EZRX drives. In other posts users are saying that the 5.3.2 firmware is fine and its the 5.3.5 firmware thats causing the problem. Netgear only have 5.3.5 and 5.3.6 available on their site. Does anyone have a copy of 5.3.2 I could have?
Does anyone know if 5.3.6 solves the problem?
Also it would be nice if an administrator could comment on why the WD30EZRX drives were pulled from the HCL? Its just seems a bit strange that the drives dissapear from the HCL and then a firmware update renders these drives useless?
Is there a planned fix for this as I'm sure countless people bought WD30EZRX drives (like you told them to on your HCL).
Thanks for your Help

- evan2NETGEAR ExpertHi robclarke41,
Please don't buy WD GREEN HDD for RAID building.
WD officially doesn't support RAID user cases in more than 2-bay devices for Green HDD.

- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredIt's not a text file.
Open the Dashboard, click Configure, go to System > Settings > Update, click Install Firmware, browse for the location you downloaded the firmware image to etc. - robclarke411AspirantOk great thanks!
