Ordering a ReadyNAS with any disk EXCEPT Western Digital?
I would like to replace my current ReadyNAS which contains 4 disks with a more recent model. Is there any way I can specify the disks as ANY BRAND except Western Digital? TIA
Fair enough ;)
I just wanted to notice the order in which you did the things. You went from primary failure (disk failure), to secondary failure (backup failure) to a less probable source of failure (assuming all Seagate have the same flaw).
I stop before the last step. I consider that at some point both manufacturers will have flawed products and I try to have products from different models/brands/batch to reduce the impacted devices.
I don't believe that either of us is right or wrong on this, we just made different assumptions. I thought that we should have, once again, stressed the backup part, and that's why I wanted to highlight the order you chose to go with.
