Install Observations
I have an NV+ v2 with 3 terrabyte hard drives (four). I purchased the V1 originally and discovered it will not handle 3 terrabyte drives (bought the wrong one). I am still trying to get the system...
Thanks to all the responses. This is a good product, it gave me some fits getting setup, but it is up and running, and performance is good for the price.
I still feel like there should be an easier way to enter the factory reset, and the documentation does not match what it does. IF there is a factory reset, it should do the partitions regardless the state of the drives.
I also find it interesting that the V1 can join a domain and the V2 can't. This seems to me a step backwards in features. So you must trade the larger drive capability for the features...
I run a small computer consulting business, and one of the things I offer my customers is offsite backup. I was under the gun because the replication computer (backup of the backup's ) ;) died, and I needed a quick cost effective alternative. Now that I am aware of the netgear devices (and this active forum), I will be better prepared to choose a model going forward. for the price of these devices, I am even considering offering to place a hardware device onsite as part of the service.
