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 been discontinued.
It appears the replacement is the Seagate Constellation ES ST31000524NS. Since this is a newer drive it is NOT on the compatibility list for the NV+ however it is on the list for newer versions of the ReadyNAS.
They are both 1 TB, 32 MB cache, 7200 RPM, SATA 3.0 with 4.16ms average latency. On paper they look pretty identical.
Any thoughts? Will this drive work fine in my NV+ alongside the Barracuda ES.2 drives?

- The NV+ (v1 - silver chassis, runs RAIDiator 4.1.x or earlier) supports disks with capacity of up to 2TB. Higher capacity disks are incompatible. The newer Cosntellation 2TB disks probably would work but if you encounter issues with disks that are not on the compatibility list you may be denied support so do ensure you have an up to date backup.
