Does anyone know, if the newer WD Red Plus WD30EFZX (current model) will work on this old NAS model?
I don't know for certain (I'm not an NVX owner), but it should work with no problems. Generally my advice for ReadyNAS is to go with WD Red Plus, Ironwolf, or Enterprise Class drives. Toshiba also makes some NAS-purposed models, but I haven't seen much here from folks using Toshiba - and I don't believe they offer a 3TB NAS-purposed model anyway.
I have mixed some WD30EFRX with newer WD Red Plus drives (WD80EFAX) on my Pro 6 with no problem.
not sure if this is useful, but my NVX is now 12 years old have 4 x WDC WD30EZRX-00M 0A80 still going strong...
