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 ...

I understand that, and I am sympathetic about your issue.

But from what I am reading in your posts, it isn't at all clear from your symptoms if your problem is related to specific drives at all. File systems get corrupted for a variety of reasons, and automated repair doesn't always work. Even if your problem is drive related, right now it still is just one person's bad experience, and some drives from every model/manufacturer fail.
Show me enough posts to form a real trend, and I'll change my view. But right now, I see lots of posts from people who are successfully using these drives, and I am not seeing much (really not any) drive-specific issues reported.
Compare the WD30EFRX posts with the posts on the ST2000DL003 for instance.
