Seagate ST2000DL003-9VT166
All, I have a readynas Ultra 4 with (3) 2TB Seagate ST2000DL003-9VT166 -302 drives in it. I have firmware CC3C that came with the drives. I have read the issues people have had with these drives. I...
Thanks very much for the detailed explanation. I've spent some time today researching how to backup the data effectively, and efficiently. I came to the conclusion that backing up approx. 3.5Tb via USB2 wasn't really the best way to do it. I found this thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=74180&p=413021#p413021 and have posted there.
In essence, I plan to backup to a series of drives via CCC and my MacbookPro, so I can access FW800 and USB3 attached drives. It also fragments the backup so I can restore it as I need to, and removes some of the dependency on single backup disk. I suspect that I will move to a NAS based backup solution in the future, when Budget is not such a constraint as it currently is.
It's good to have the sequences of backup/restore. The most concerning thing is that the add ons I have installed and configured will work when the ReadyNas is restored.
BTW, this unit is largely an accessible archive. Much of the data is in other places, but not as coherently organised. Most of the recent (i.e. last two years) is on near line thunderbolt based storage. But I should have a proper backup :-)
