HWC - new NAS and Ultra discs
Ultra 2
Pro 2
Linux
1) I read that the new NAS (I'm interested in the 312 - 2 bay) could not rsync server in the Ultra or Pro to the new models and vice-versa. Is this so, please?
2) I want to upgrade my Ultra 2 disks to WD RED 3 or 4 TB. The compatibility list no longer shows thisd model. Can anybody confirm the drive type and max capacity pleae?
Many thanks

- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee Retired1) if you run the backup job on the 312 it should work
2) in the compatibility list choose Legacy and then you will see your model. Users have found 4TB disks work fine for them. - davidr1LuminaryThanks mdgm.
What if I run the backup job on the Ultra/Pro to the 312? - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredI think reports are that doesn't work so well.
Better to pull the backup from the Ultra/Pro to the 312 by running it on the 312.
