NV+ X-RAID Expansion with WDC drives
I'm quite happy with my NV+ X-RAID running for 2+ years with 4 x WDC WD10EADS-00M2B0 (1 TB). One drive has quite a high Raw Read Error Rate (5941912). So I guess it might be failing soon. Don't know,...
Okay, thank you.
A final question: Is it possible (or advisable) to mix 2 x WD10EADS and 2 x WD20EARX disks, will sector sizes be different between models and if so does that have any negative effects.
yes, okay, that was 2 or 3 questions ;-)
Tech support mentions this "Please note if you want to expand the volume you will need all 4x 2TB disk to replace with."
I don't understand what exactly "expand" means in this context (overall size?)
Also, I'm replacing the 1 TB disks not the 2 TBs. Maybe a misunderstanding.
BTW: Good job on the great support. I definitively can recommend Netgear/Readynas in this respect.
