HOWTO: Prepare a 4TB GPT Drive for Duo/NV+ v2 USB3.0
After experimenting with a bare drive and USB3.0 docking station, I'm able to connect and use a 4TB Drive on a ReadyNAS NV+ v2 USB3.0 port :-D Here are the steps that were used. Notes: The drive...
Thanks for that. I assumed formatting the drive with a separate Linux machine would do the trick but the only Linux systems I had on had were in virtual machines. So I've temporarily created a 2TB ext3 filesystem on my ST4000DM000 so I could backup my NAS contents to it.
Have you tried actually using a ST4000DM000 inside the NAS? I have the Duo v2 and I've got a second ST4000DM000 coming in the mail so I will know soon but it would be great to hear from others that have tried this ST4000DM000 drive in the NV+ v2 or Duo v2. I'm hoping X-Raid2 will notice the full capacity and be able to expand the NAS to 4tb. I currently have 2x2tb drives in it.
