NV+ = Segate ES.2 vs. Constellation
Howdy folks, I have an NV+ (see signature below) that currently has three drives in it: Seagate Barracuda ES.2 / ST31000340NS I'm ready to expand and add a fourth drive, however the ES.2 drives have...
Hi,
I have a number of older ReadyNAS boxes using ST31000340NS drives. Some of those drives are starting to fail. I too have found that these drives are no longer available and are being replaced by ST31000524NS drives. As per Flash's post these drives appear functionally identical to the older model but they are not listed against older models in the Hardware Compatibility List.
The support warning about not using unsupported drives is quite blatant and strongly worded. Can someone from Netgear please advise us on using these newer, replacement models. I would like to see something in writing so that our support options are not restricted. Either the Hardware Compatibility List should be updated or can a Jedi make a statement here that Netgear Support personal will accept.
Regards,
Ian.
