NV+v2 more than 12tb storage?
Hi, One of my drives is starting to fail and i am looking at replacements. When i bought the nas it supported a maximum of 4x3tb drives. Checked the hdd compatability list now and there is one...
Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.
The volume was built with all 4 disks at once.
so i should now easily be able to add one and one drive untill i have 16tb?
The nv+v2 is slow, but it has been good to me. I may upgrade the device a bit later on but i am curious to how long this one will live :)
Yes (getting a 12 TB volume). Just make sure the resync is complete before you upgrade the next disk. Also, reboot the NAS after you upgrade the second disk. You should get a prompt at the point, but reboot it even if you don't. Then wait for vertical expansion to complete before you move on to disk 3.

Hi,
I have now received the drive and swapped it out and resync is done.
On the readynas dashboard it recognises the hard drive as a 4tb drive but i still have the same amount of space as before.
Also, I am still getting channel 1 failure with the new drive, which makes me think it is something wrong with the firmware?
I updated the firmware to 5.3.13 before i swapped the drives.

What size are the other drives?
It doesent say anything. volume looks fine. I did see a thread from a while ago where a guy had the same problem but changed raid type and it stopped failing. Seeing as the new disk also gets channel 1 failed i am guessing the problem is on the NAS itself
Aah. So if would not get increased storage until i have 4x4tb? i now have 3x3tb and 1x4tb.
