NV+ & 3TB Drives

Hi.

Just tryed to install a NV+ for an company.
I replaced 2 X 1TB drives with 4 X 3TB drives, factory reset & changed to raidlevel 5.
But it can only see the drives as 1tb drives...
Am running firmware release 4.1.14
The disks is WD Red 3TB NAS Harddrive SATA 6Gb/s (SATA 3.0), 64MB, 3.5", 24x7 reliability

Is it a limit on disk size on this NAS NV+ ?

Regards

Bjørn

    I recommend you the Intel-based ReadyNAS OS 6 models like RN314. Check the specs here: http://netgear.com/images/pdf/ReadyNAS_ ... 700_DS.pdf

    Be sure that you have a backup of the data from your NV+ v1 so that you could just restore it if ever you have purchased a new ReadyNAS OS 6 model.
