What makes a hard drive ReadyNAS compatible?
I have owned several ReadNAS boxes (RN600, three NV+, and a Ultra 6 Plus) and have had nothing but success installing and running these units 7X24 in a home and small business environment. I recently ...
UPDATE on the situation that I described with the WD Black 1TB drives (WD1002FAEX) drives. I have successfully built a new ReadyNAS NV+ (V1) box with 4X1TB X-RAID using these drives. I initially built the unit with 4X500GB using a model mix of WD 500GB drives. Once completed, I started swapping the 500GB drives with the WD Black 1TB drives and after the last drive was successfully added it expanded and all seems OK. I don't know if having the 500GB base made any difference but the X-RAID capacity upgrade worked like a champ.
On another note, I chose these drives because of their 5 year warranty and because of the price I paid versus ES grade drives.
