Readynas Duo RND2110 v2 DISC Compatibility
I’ve a readynas duo RND2110 v2, FireWire 4.1.16, X-RAID, OS Mac 10.11.
It’s currently got two 2TB Seagate drive which have almost filled up. I’m using it as a home media nas.
I bought two 4TB Seagate Ironwolf drives but having no joy in hot swapping the drives. I now think the discs aren’t compatible (my fault for not checking).
Ive now checked the netgear compatible list but cannot find the RND2110 model on the list.
Can anyone help me confirm if the Seagate Ironwolf drives are compatible, and if not, recommend me any 4TB drives that would work in my old NAS.
UPDATE: So I think Ill just get a Readynas RN212 as it looks like the Ironwolf drives are compatible.
Whats the process of moving everything to the new 212 with the new 4TB drives in it?
Do I
1. Put the original 2TB drives into the new 212 NAS and let it do its thing to recognise them
2. Individually hot swap out the old 2TB with the new 4TB drives in the new 212
Will this work?
Thanks again

Unfortunately your NAS can't handle disks larger than 2 TB. So it is already maxed out.
If you did a factory reset, you could set it up as two JBOD volumes of 2 TB each. There would be no RAID redundancy, and you'd have to back up your files, and then restore them all after the new volumes are set up.
Thanks for the reply. That's annoying, I hadn't thought it would have maxed out. I think I'd prefer Raid rather than JBOD so it looks like I need a new NAS
What would be good replacement NAS that has a bigger capacity for a home media set up?Thanks again.
