ReadyNAS 314 - a year of hell and now lost 10years of data!
I bought a ReadyNAS 314 when they were new in the market back in April 2013. I bought it partly because I wanted to safeguard my increasing data storage with redundancy in case of disk failure, and al...
Interestingly I have searched a bit about these drives, and have come across many other people with similar problems with many NAS types and using these Seagate ST3000DM001 drives.
Seems these drives don't support the "SCT Error Recovery Control command" which is important when used in anything above a RAID 0/1, and as such Seagate don''t support Raid 5/6/10 on these drives!
Can Netgear explain why they have put them in their compatibility listing for this and other ReadyNAS boxes?
What I am saying is that I bought unsuitable drives for my ReadyNas based on Netgears compatibility listing and as such have spent a lot of money on drives that will not work reliably regardless of how many times I convince Seagate to replace them!
I think it is about time I got some kind of compensation for this abysmal ReadyNAS/disk combo that Netgear advertise as working together!!
If I lose my data again I am going to go on the war path and will seek legal advice and take court action if advised. Might as well get back the money for the £600 camera on the compatibility list too that doesn't work with Surveillance (that hadn't even finished being written when I bought the box)
