Can't install WD40EFRX in my Duo v2
Hello all: I have a readynas duo v2, which came with a 1 TB hard drive and it works fine. I am trying to upgrade to a 4 TB hard drive and I can't seem to get the duo to tell me that it is installed c...
Yes I have 2 volumes a 1 and 4 TB.
I think that I am happy with my current configuration. After playing with this Duo for a while (I have had it for over a year and just now bought a 4 TB drive for it) I don't think I would go this route again. It seems like it would be easier to just setup a linux box to act as the server for both web and storage, which is what I had before using an ITX board. The only reason I went with the Duo was what I thought was ease of configuration and I bough the 1 TB for a good price. My old system ran for over 7 years as both an Apache server and data back up.
One other thing I see that netgear has dropped the "ready cloud" add on so that degrades the usefulness of the Duo. Has anyone ever tried to convert the box to a true linux server? or rip out the guts and put in a Raspberry pi or nano Itx board.
And I do backup everything even the Duo, with the price of USB 4 TB drives at about $100 it is cheap insurance.
Again thanks to all for the help and especially StephenB.
