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 mdgm,
I do like the sound of the 102 and 104, and have been looking at the X-RAID calculator tool. http://rdconfigurator.netgear.com/raid/index.html
I wonder if you can answer a question...
For migration, sounds simple to put a blank 1TB disk in the new NAS, and copy over the existing data. Then put in the 3TB disk.
If I go for the 102, I have 1TB X-RAID, which would increase to 3TB when the 1TB disk is changed for a second 3TB - fine.
If I go for the 104, I also have 1TB at first, but the raid tool tells me that if I then add a 3TB disk, (leaving the 1TB & 3TB in place) data capacity increases to 4TB. Sounds nice, but my question is what will happen if (WHEN is more accurate, as it is a non-NAS drive a few years old) the 1TB disk fails. I then have 2x 3TB disk, which previously held 4TB of data. Presumably my whole array is non-redundant until I put in at least another TB of disk. Or if I am not using more than 3TB, in X-RAID smart enough to reduce the size of the array and leave me with 3TB of redundant storage?
(PS: Any white papers on how to get 4TB of storage from 7TB of hard disk?)
