Replace Seagate 3TB with Hitachi 3TB?
Hi, currently I'm running a Pro 6 with 3 Seagate ST33000650NS disks. Since I need more space and these disks are hard to get and very expensive I'd like to replace them. Is it possible to replace ...
Should report the same size for the Hitachi. Remember 3TB in disk manufacturer's measurements is 3 * 1000 ^4 bytes. Now 3000 / 1024^3 * 1000^3 = 2794GB (approx). The NAS considers 1TB = 1024^4 Bytes. It's just a difference in measurements.
You could leave the 3 SeaGate drives in place and add the Hitachi drives as additional disks. If you just have three disks in the NAS you might wish to consider going to Volumes in Frontview and choosing the next disk you add to convert the array to dual-redundancy.
