Looking to fit 3TB Enterprise drives to ReadyNAS Duo or NV+
I currently have 2x Seagate ST31000340NS in a ReadyNAS Duo (RND2000 v2), and would like to increase the capacity to 3TB with a pair of the Seagate ST33000650NS drives. Could anyone offer some advice ...
if you have an ARM based duo/nv+ with 'dashboard 5.x', then 3+ tb drives should be fine.
if you have a SPARC based duo/nv+ with 'frontview' and raidiator 4.x, then 2tb is the largest that will work.
with any 4 bay device, you could use 'flex-raid' mode to manually setup 2 separate mirrored volumes, note however the default is x-raid mode which would essentially be the same as a single raid 5 volume. You would need to choose flex-raid mode at the beginning of a factory reset.
