NVX Business Edition total Max HDD Capacity?
I have an NVX Business Edition with four 2TB drives in it. I want to replace all of them with 3TB or 4TB drives. Will the NVX handle the 12TB or 16TB capacity and if so can I expand the array the usu...
I've read the thread already. What you've requoted doesn't answer my questions:
I'm willing to change brands if necessary, but want to know the best 1TB and 2TB drives (with Rotation Vibration Safeguard) to consider for the NVX from the Hardware Compatibility List, and to clarify the spec listed in the cache column. Is this how much the disc can process/transfer, and does it mean a disc listed as 64MB won't work in a x86 NAS like the NVX?

(a) the cache size is invisible to the NAS (or any PC), so 64 MB will work fine.
(b) Asking "which disk is best" is like asking which automobile or mobile phone is "best". Opinions differ, and to some degree it depends what you want. Highest performance? Most power efficient? Does acoustic noise matter to you? How about warranty?
Personally I'd get the WD20EFRX. I've had good results from the WDC Reds in my Pro-6, my duo v1, my RN102, and my RN202.
