Seagate ST3000VN000 (3TB) in ReadyNAS Duo v2 (Edit: Duo V1)
I see from other posts that the Seagate NAS drives are on the HCL, though not for older products like the Duo v2. I have also noted that there is at least one 3TB disk on the HCL for the Duo v2. ......
Thanks for the confirmation.
I would have stuck with 2TB if I had not misinterpreted that pesky "v2" on the unit!
So...
I was hoping to give my ReadyNAS a new lease of life by upgrading the disks to 3TB - I am not certain that this makes sense with 2TB as what I should be backing up now is already well beyond the 1TB that I have. So maybe a new NAS is the way to go: 5 years (faultless operation, including correctly managing the failure of one and impending failure of another drive) for the existing Duo is not bad. So though I would be heavily biased towards another ReadyNAS, they don't seem to get great reviews at the moment. Any thoughts on that?
