new drives dor my duo
Have an older version ReadyNas Duo v1, and am about to change the drives to 2 x 2TB (about 7 months later than planned, but is life..)
On the help pages, I see I can use a bunch of 2TB drives. I am probably going for the WD Caviar Green - which I can get at silly prices at Amazon at the moment (new).
I see though the recommended model is WD20EARX...which is not made any longer...I can get the WD20EZRX
Will it work?
Thanks

- I wouldn't use those drives, use the wd red drives or seagate NAS drives.
They may not be on the HCL, but by the sounds of it you're out of warranty?
They are on the HCL for newer readynas units. - The WDC red drives are not on the HCL for the duo v1, but they work fine. The model number is WD20EFRX
- Hi guys,
Have checked those out, and yes, they look much more suited as well.
Thanks for the help.
