ah ok, so if I hook up the new WD 4 TB my book to my PC as an external drive, then just back up over the network? Surprised that gets better performance over the network vs USB direct, but I'll trust you. I can see how it minimizes compatibility issues though and that is a good thing in this case.
In this set up can I set up auto backups of the NAS to the hard drive? Assuming the computer is on so the drive is on? I could also get a USB > Ethernet hub and put it on the network? I have open Ethernet ports in a switch in the office, but no router with a USB port to put a USB device on the network.
I'll get a new supported HD, replace disc 1, let it all re-sync, then do the backup to the external drive, then do the other steps mentioned. Anything else please let me know.
Thank you
