recommendation for home + home office, confused by options
Hi All, I confess to being quite confused by all of the various ReadyNAS units, and I'd like to ask for some help making an informed choice. I work at home, and have networked my office machines...
Hi Herbieo,
I bought two of these:
Seagate 3TB Barracuda SATA 6GB/s 64MB 7200RPM 3.5" Hard Drive
Quicklinx: 7W95WS00 | Mfr#: ST3000DM001
The Quicklinx number is a DABS catalog number, and the Mfr# is Seagate's (this is the number I used to determine compatibility with my ReadyNAS, using the link that spinaltap gave to me).
Cheers!
Chas

When I ordered my ReadyNAS, I bought 2 x 3TB Seagate drives. Luckily, they are on the approved list. I need to insure that the firmware is at a certain version, but otherwise, I'm good to go (hmm, how to flash firmware is my next challenge).
Thanks once again, you're a fount of information (if you ever need info on photography and gear, I can reciprocate).
Cheers!

May i ask what model drives you bought ?
