ReadyNAS RND4000 v3 Possible to setup 2 sets of RAID 1 mirrored drives
Hi there
I was given an old NAS, the NetGear ReadyNAS RND4000 v3, and I have a few quick questions
- Does the NAS take 3TB drives? (I think the max is 2TB, but I'd like to confirm with yo...
Thanks for your reply
Another question, I have a pair of drives from a Western Digital Duo External Raid setup. It is running the standard RAID mirror configuration, nothing proprietary.
Is it possible to pop in the 2 drives directly into the RND4000? And will it detect the raid immediately?
I haven't done anything yet, because I am afraid it will be reinitialized and all data wiped out.
Thanks

Good decision. The NAS will reformat the drives from the WD enclosure.
If the disks are 2 TB or less, you can reuse them in the NV+. But you can't migrate the data - you'll need to offload it first, and then restore it after you create the second RAID-1 volume on the NV+ (and create some shares on it).
