ReadyNas Duo V1 HDD compatibility
With the constant change in HDD, I was looking at upgrading my HDD on my trusty Readynas Duo V1. Can someone tell me the max TB allowed and what they are running? Thanks
The v1 doesn't support GPT formatting, so it is limited to 2 TB drives. A WD20EFRX (or a 2 TB Seagate Ironwolf) are good choices.

Sorry, I don't understand this question.
Hi
You have already answered it. What I mean is, what do people have in the readnas boxes that work well.

I am using a WD20EFRX in mine (along with an older Seagate disk).
As can be read in other threads, I recently upgraded to Seagate Ironwolf 2TB drivers.
Apart from the first drive being DoA, the new pair of Seagates works as could be desired.
They have an added advantage to the old (5 years or more) WD they replace:
The Ironwolfs run several several degrees Celcius cooler then the old WDs!
The Seagates are aroudn 36-37 degrees in my installation, slightly higher when doing lots of works, whereas the Western Digitals were alway in the 43-46 degrees range.
This means that the FAN in the Duo rarely have to crank up to higher revolutions, meaning the the installation is a lot quieter now! Horray!
I'm glad the upgrade went well.
Generally I use WDC reds, but I do have some 1 TB Ironwolf models, and I've also found that they work well.
