ReadyNAS Ultra 4 and defect HD

Hi

 

I have four Seagate st2000dl003-9vt166 2TB in my ReadyNAS Ultra 4, and one of these is dead.

These Seagate disks can not be found no more.

Can I use another Segate 2TB disk, example Seagate ST2000DM006 (Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5'' HDD - SATA 6.0Gb/s, 7200RPM, 64MB cache, 3.5'')

regards paal

  • We'd recommend checking the compatibility list. On the compatibility list page you'd select Legacy then Ultra 4

      • I recommend NAS-purposed drives -

        • WD Red or Seagate Ironwolf
        • WD Red Pro or Seagate Ironwolf Pro.

        I prefer Western Digital myself.

         

        No reason I can see to consider desktop drives now that reasonably-priced NAS-purposed drives are available.

      Hei, I replaced the defect drive with a new disk (Disk4). The status is Spare, but the status should be Resync?
