RNDP4000 - 2TB drives
Hi, I have bought myself an extra NAS and want to equip it with new 2TB drives. From the HCL there are 13 options. Below my need for advice is pinpointed. Looking at the price my best buy are: ...
The NV+ (v1) is maxed out using 2TB drives.
As for the Pro 4 it can handle 3TB drives. If you get 3TB drives put one in the Pro 4. If it comes with 4.2.15 or earlier firmware then likely the disk will be recognised as having <1TB of capacity. Update the firmware to the latest version, verify update was successful, then power down, put the rest of the disks in and do a factory default (http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_use_the_boot_menu). Doing this will give a clean setup on the latest firmware and the full capacity of the 3TB disks will be recognised.
