New disks for my ReadyNAS NV
I am needing to replace one of my failed Seagate Barracuda 500GB, so thought I would move to some high capacities. Can anyone tell me if this model is compatible with my old NV ? Seagate ST31000...
I'm not sure what you mean by the 5200's, as most of the "green" drives are 5400 to 5900 RPM. You might want to consider the Samsung HD204UI drives. They are on the NV approved list, are 2TB and seem to have a good approval from users. They have an 83% 4 and 5 rating on the Newegg website. They are reported as 5400RPM drives, but that should not be a problem and the real bottleneck is the CPU. I have a pair of Hitachi 3TB green drives in an NVX and have not really noticed any difference in file transfer speed after changing from 7200 RPM 1TB drives.
