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: ...
While many of us prefer matching drives in a set (same mfg and model), most times other than a brand new situation or where money is not a limiting factor, this is not possible. You can successfully mix and match any drives that are on the HCL. In the 5 years I have had a ReadyNAS (various models) only for about two of those years have I had matching sets of drives. Initially it was because I only had two drives in my NV+ (v1) and the second time when I had a new NVX added. Currently I have two 5400 RPM 3TB Hitachi drives and two 7200 RPM 1TB Seagate drives and they have played nicely together for the last year.
I see absolutely nothing to critique about your decision. Just do make sure the 7K3000 drives are ones that are on the HCL.
