ReadyNAS Device Compatibility List

No problems with an Epson Stylus Photo R320

Thanks!

I've now got two Netgear GS105 (giga) switches on the network, replacing the nasty hub. I'm not using jumbo frames as I have an Xbox on the network too, but coupled with the GA311 NIC's I've installed everything appears to be working fine (apart from the Zone Alarm problems).

Cool, I see you went with the Netgear GS105 after all. Are you able to run 1000/full duplex now?

Interestingly, I have my GS108 plugged into a Linksys WRT54G (10/100 + 802.11b/g). The NV+ and desktop (Intel PRO1000GT) are plugged into the GS108 running jumbo frames. However, I've also got a laptop over 802.11g on the WRT54G. Everything works fine with the jumbo frames enabled and all. Surprising. You might give it a try just to see what happens.

Note that you'll get better read performance without jumbo frames, so if writes don't matter as much to you, don't bother...

Hiya - yes - the cash wasn't available for the 108 - was made redundant last month so would have rather not spent anything. Now, rather than 100mbs half duplex, I'm getting 1000mbs full duplex and the NV doesn't lock up with you try to do more than one thing.

Thanks for the Jumbo tip :)

Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone knows if the new Hitachi 1 TB drives will be compatible with the ReadyNAS NV? I know they're not out yet, but they are coming soon and the price is right... :)

Well, they still haven't finished compatibility with 750 gb drives and they've been out for over a year, so....

Right now the Readynas has a 2 TB limit, so you only get 2016 GB with 4x 750 GB drives. That isn't too bad, but you do lose 40 GB or so because of it.

I'd imagine the situation would be much worse for the 1 TB drives. You'd lose nearly an entire TB.

Hopefully that limit will be fixed soon. Can anyone comment on when that firmware upgrade will be ready? I'd like my 40 GB back...

We'll have a beta release starting sometime next month. 8)

Note that even with the 2TB limit, you can still use ~3TB (well, more like 2.7TB) in flex-RAID mode, you just have to maintain two separate RAID-5 volumes.

That's right, my track record's been put to the test. Let's say we'll try *really* hard to release a beta in February. 2007, 2008, I'm not sure? At least it'll be in February :lol:
