ReadyNAS Pro6 / OS 6.3.5 RC2: replace 4 2TB disks with 4 4TB

Hi,

 

I plan to replace my 4 2TB HDD with 4 4TB HDD. I have a ReadyNAS Pro6 running 6.3.5 RC2.

 

What HDD to you advise me to buy?

 

Thank you!

    Finaly, I bought 4 WD30EFRX. All is OK with these new disks.

  • For cool and quiet disks, look at the WDC WD40EFRX (or if you are a Seagate person the ST4000VN000).  These have 3-year warranties.

     

    If you want 7200 rpm performance, try the WD4001FFSX.  These will run quite a bit hotter than the two above.  Warranty is 5 years.

     

    I use WD30EFRX in my pro-6, and have had no problems with them.  Performance is quite good, and the system temps are low.
