ReadyNAS NV+ RND4000 Capacity
Hello We have been running a ReadyNAS NV+ RND4000 for a number of years now, with just one 3TB drive. Running XRAID, we had 700GB of storage space. Recently, we needed to up that capacity, so...
You're running the latest production firmware for your NV+.
The v2 uses very different hardware. The OS for the v2 won't run on the v1 and vice versa.
So you should either get 2TB disks for your NV+ v1 or get a new ReadyNAS (note the RAID format is different so the disks would need to be wiped by the new NAS).

I thought that would be the case.
I had a look around at prices, comparing the cost of a new ReadyNAS vs replacing the disks, and the cost is roughly the same -- but, of course, we'd have far less space with 2TB disks than 3TB disks with a new NAS.
I am aware that the disks would need to be wiped by the new ReadyNAS -- overall, though, we're looking at the same timeframe, since e'd have to move all the data from the 3TB disks anyway.
Thanks very much for your help. It is rather a shame we hadn't realised this issue earlier on, but you live and you learn.
