ST2000DL003 Compatibility?
Being a RNP user that is running out of space, I'm wanting to purchase new drives. I'm interested in using the Seagate ST2000DL003 2TB drives. These drives are not currently listed on the compatib...
Thanks papabear - I'm going from 2 x 1TB drives (came with it - think WD) to the 2 x 2TB drives mentioned above.
Do I also need to back up the config of the box separately - and is that then EVERYTHING - inc. network settings, share access, type (ftp, nfs etc) and ID's and passwords?
Would I need to format the new disk as NTFS (I'm using W7) and simply copy the contents to it (USB or across the network to it slaved to a PC?) or use the NAS backup option?
I assume I then remove both of the drives and put in the unused new one and do the factory reset - then copy the contents back to it from the first new drive and then put that drive in the NAS - to have its data overwritten - albeit with the same data - but the NAS will re-format it automatically (EXT(3?)?)?
Assuming I do back up the config separately, when do I restore it? After I have done the factory reset and before I start copying data back to the NAS?
Given that 4.1.7 supports 4k and my NAS is on 4.1.7, why does it need a factory reset? (I'm not questioning whether it does or doesn't - simply why it does need it..)
Many thanks,
Steve
