ReadyNas 4200 Version
How do I tell what hardware version a ReadyNas 4200 is? I am thinking that the 4200 I just received is not the current version which I believe should be V2. This NAS was delivered with Firmware ...
Update to the latest firmware. 4.2.19 (http://www.readynas.com/RAIDiator_x86_4_2_19_Notes) is quite old now.
4.2.22 is the latest: http://www.readynas.com/RAIDiator_x86_4_2_22_Notes
Sounds like you have a v1. The v1 does not support 3TB drives in drive bays 5 to 12.
If your reseller accepts returns for change of mind you may wish to return the unit in exchange for another. However the only way to guarantee you get a v2 unit would be to get a unit that ships from the factory with 3TB drives installed. Or you could consider the new ReadyDATA 5200. However do note that the ReadyDATA only accepts NetGear supplied drives not 3rd party ones.
