ReadyNAS 3200
I'm about to buy a ReadyNAS 3200. I want two things in place before I buy: a) possibility to utilize 3TB-disks. I want to make sure that the hardware will not impose restrictions. Will there for su...
a) NetGear is working on the 4.2.16 update (http://readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=48457) to do this. However you should note that as none of the currently available 3TB drives are enterprise disks none of these will be added to the compatibility list for the 3200. There is an issue with the LSI firmware (http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=48980&p=280918&hilit=3200+firmware#p280918) but once this is resolved before 4.2.16 goes final 3TB drives would be supported in all 12 slots. Then when enterprise disks become available NetGear would qualify some and add them to the compatibility list.
b) You can use X-RAID2 dual-redundancy (With 5 disks this would protect you against the failure of any two disks). I expect that a future firmware update at some point will lift the 16TB restriction for expanding volumes. Keep an eye on the release notes of firmware updates as such a change would definitely be mentioned.
