NV F/W
Hi, been a while since I visited here, hence the new account since I can't remember my username. I have an NV which apart from the early PSU issue has served me pretty well. Checked my Smart data j...
the NV you have is a sparc, so 4.1.13 is the correct firmware.
You are limited to 2 TB drives and smaller.
On the upgrade, I'd price using 2 or 3 2TB drives against using 4 of a smaller size, and pick whatever is cheapest. WDC "red" drives work well.
If you go with 2 TB you will need to do a factory reset to get best performance (the issue is that you need 4K sector alignment with the newer drives). If you deploy fewer than 4 drives, you will need to rebuild the NAS from scratch (taking the old drives out). Label the existing drives by slot, so you can pop them back in if needed (with the NAS powered off).
