ReadyNas NV+ "Kernel Panic"
Hi ReadyNas NV+ RND4000 wont boot, LCD just displays "Kernel Panic" I've performed the memory test twice as recommended in forum threads I've stumbled across. (hold down power button on power-u...
Thanks Stephen
I found this article on 3TB drives...
http://www.pcworld.com/article/235088/everything_you_need_to_know_about_3TB_hard_drives.html
What I take from that is that the technology to support higher than 2TB drives was around for years before the NV+ & many vendors incorporated as a matter of course.
However Infrant/ Netgear, producing hardware for the sole purpose of data storage decided not to do so?
Depending on which side of the fence you're sitting on I think many would see that as incredibly silly or clever.
Also it's evident if you look at the rear of the first generation NV+ units that production modifications were being implemented.
My two NV+ units state 'NV+ v2' & 'NV+ v3' after them (although confusingly they are both 'NV+ V1' units if you go by the model number).
There appears to have been clear chances to modify & implement the use of 3tb drives with the NV+, either from the outset, within the further two modifications or possibly since the 'EOL'.
At least, it would have been nice if Netgear could have maybe issued a statement or explanation on why 3TB drives wont work, especially for those who purchased NV+'s when 3TB drives were actually on the market. Some might wonder that the fact nothing has been said, actually says a whole lot more.
Anyway's what I will give them is the fact I have this great forum to voice my personal opinion on to the great people on here helping out, that's invaluable & one reason why I opted to buy my NV+'s when I did. :D
Thanks for the recommendation on the RN314, these days I often make purchases on the strength of price & Amazon reviews which have never let me down.

On that bases, if I need to upgrade I would probably go for the Synology unless there was an obvious plus point staying with Netgear.
I've checked & Synology also have a forum.
