Can I upgrade to a newer version of an NV+?
Hi, After many years, it looks like my ReadyNAS NV+ v1 has bit the dust. Since I have 4-500 GB drives of data on it, I was wondering if I could upgrade to another version of the NV+ line, say v2. I...
StephenB,
The NV+ - without the Barracuda - is now going thru a filesystem check. If the NV+ successfully boots, and I then shut it down & out in the Barracuda, what should I expect to see? The Kernal Panic again? If so, that proves the Barracuda is bad.

Thanks to everyone for your technical help. My question really started withe me junking the NV+ and buying a working used one. If it turns out it's that darn Barracuda, then I'll really have egg on my face :)
