WD30EFRX 3TB "Red Series"

Are you sure you have the NV+ v2? The NV+ v2 is charcoal in colour whereas the v1 is silver. 3TB disks are not compatible with the v1. See How to tell whether I have a Duo v1 or Duo v2 or NV+ v1 or NV+ v2

Looking at your earlier posts and forum join date it sounds like you have the v1 not the v2.

Aha, well spotted. However, I have a shiny, brand new v2 sat unopened because I don't have a (working) HDD for it! The NV+ V2 is currently on sale in the UK for £160 which is a bargain! Just couldn't say no to a second NAS.

EDIT: Updated my profile to say v2.

Ah, good. Just wanted to make sure.

Edit: There are some threads already on the Red Series and WD has done some testing of them themselves I understand. They should work fine. They are a very new drive.

Do you have the links? I tried a search, but didn't see them. Am I going to have to be the guinea pig?

Has anyone tried any of the RED series? I am looking to get the 3TB model for an NV+ v2. It is listed as compatible, but has anyone tried it themselves? Thanks.

I have read three reviews and loving the sound of it, but I was hoping someone has tried one in an NV+ v2 so I can make sure they work well. After drives being added and then removed from the HCL I am nervous about being one of the first to try it.

I dont think you will find anyone as used these drives yet because they are so new.

Several folks appear to have ordered some though, we should have some early news in a week or so.

I couldn't resist. I have one on order just to test it, so I should get it the end of this week.

Nice let us know how you get on with it.
