Hi everyone.
Just bought a Readynas RND2000v2 and im using 2 x 3tb Seagate drives Link here : http://www.scan.co.uk/products/3tb-seagate-st3000dm001-barracuda-720014-sata-iii-6gb-s-7200rpm-64mb-cache-8ms-ncq-oem
The problem is it's showing the drives as being 738gb instead of 3tb, Ive got a horrible feeling that something isn't compatible.
Its my first nas drive and just dont know what to do,.
Many Thanks for any help :D :D :D

- Odds are you have a v1. Ignore the labels, and consult this guide: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how ... -or-nv-v2/
If I am right, you have a NAS that is limited to 2 TB drives. - Ah Bugger, Thanks for the info, Anychance you know what the V2 are limited to ? I will just sell this one and get another one.
Thanks again - The v2 will handle 4 TB drives. But I don't recommend purchasing one at this point - you'd be better off with the newer RN102. The v2 wasn't in the market long and I don't think it's firmware is up to snuff. It is end-of-life now, so it is getting only maintenance fixes. The new OS on the RN102 still needs some work, but it is in active development.
- Thanks,
Been out today and bought a brand new on, Just about to plug it in,.,
Thanks for the advice
