ReadyNAS Device Compatibility List

I can report that the HP PhotoSmart 7350 printer seems to work fine through the ReadyNAS Duo.

One minor issue is that after a print completes, the printer LCD continues to say "PRINTING" and the light around the print button continues flashing. This does not seem to affect subsequent attempts to print.

For Vista 64-bit, HP instruct you to use the DeskJet 5550 driver provided with Windows.

I nearly ordered a DGS-1008D
When I realised what's on the compatibility list is a DGS-108D

Has anyone an experience of the new DGS-1008D desktop switch?

D-Link DIR-855 can be added to router/switch.

Seagate's ST3640323AS 640GB hard drives work with 4.1.3.

I have been getting quotes for 4 x Seagate ST3750640NS Barracuda ES (16MB Cache) 750GB, and have been informed by my IT supplier that the drives now carry a 32MB cache.
Does anyone know if these will continue to be/are compatible?

Thanks

I dunno what makes a router "Compatible"... but my Dlink DGL-4500 Gaming Router works...

When they are available we will for sure do a drive qualification on them. As it stands right now with the current firmware on the NV+ will not have a problem with the size of this new drive.

Haven't seen any response on this. I know that 4.1.4 supports 1.5TB. I was considering upgrading to the Seagate ST31500341AS 1.5TB drives and wanted to confirm compatibility. Given that historically all Seagate 7200.11 AS drives have been supported, I would hope to assume this would be as well.

I'm running out of space and was considering upgrading to the Seagate ST31000340NS 1TB drives. But since 1.5TB drives are out, why not go there. I just wished they offered an ES 1.5TB version now.

I just received my 1.5TB Seagate ST31500341AS from Newegg and installed it, but it didn't work. I had updated my firmware first to 4.1.4 and rebooted it. I am currently running 4 750GB Seagates in X-Raid.

I received this error message in my log "Disk fail event occurred on SATA channel 1.\n\nIf this disk is used in a redundant volume (RAID level 1, 5, or X-RAID), that volume is unprotected, and an additional disk failure may render that volume dead. You should replace the failed disk as soon as possible. Note that some disks may inadvertantly report failure. If you feel this is the case, rebooting the NAS device will automatically resync the disk to the RAID volume. If you get further failure messages, you should replace the disk immediately.\n\nIf this disk is used in a RAID 0 volume, your volume is now dead as RAID 0 does not provide disk failure protection.\n\n\n[Wed Oct 1 21:09:07 HST 2008]
Oct 1 21:09:14 nas-01-27-BF RAIDiator: Access to the disk on channel (??) is producing I/O errors. Although the array is still redundant, please replace this drive as soon as possible, as it is likely to fail soon.

When this occured, I wasn't able to use Raidar nor Frontview to see the activity on the NAS and I wasn't able to power down the NAS. But, when I pulled the 1.5TB drive out, access to both Raidar and Frontview was accessible again.

Hope there is a fix for this soon or maybe I was doing something wrong.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Rainbowman,

Support for the Seagate 1.5TB drives is in the latest release (4.1.4) that it looks like you downloaded already. The problem you are reporting looks like it could actually be a bad drive. What I would recommend is to use Seatools on the drive to verify if the drive is OK or not. If you are unfamiliar with Seatools please let me know and I will help you out.

Hi Han Solo,

That will be great if you could let me know how to use Seatools that is on the drive. Thanks.
