WD20EARS-00MVWB0 - works with NV+ or not?
Could it be clarified if WD20EARS-00MVWB0 Western Digital hard drive is officially compatible with NV+? This is the latest model which retailers stock at the moment. I doubt the approved one can ac...
gblades,
are you saying you have a 4 bay NV+ with WD20EARS-00MVWB0 (fully populated, eg 4 drives) and it all worked at rel 4.1.6?
I belive it is not supposed to work unless you get firmware up to 4.1.7.
I got mine upgraded to 4.1.7 using an older Seagate 400GB (HCL approved drive).
I then inserted another HCL approved drive HCL 2TB WD20EARS 00S8B1 - all synced well and as expected I got fully redundant 384GB across the two drives (equivalent to the smaller drive)
All well up to this point.
Last night while powered down I removed the 400GB Seagate and replaced it with 2TB WD20EARS-00MVWB0 -
so I had two bays with 2TB in each (WD20EARS-00MVWB0 + WD20EARS 00S8B1)
after a long re-sync process all seems fine BUT I only got 384GB volume across the two 2TB drives!
How do I extend it to full 2TB?
