RND4000 v3
Hello, I lost 1 drive recently, does anyone used WD40EFAX or WD40EFZX or WD4003FFBX for RND4000 v3? I would like to replace all drives, after long years to preve...
You have what we refer to as an NV+v1. The sticker that best tells me that is the OS version. A V1 runs OS4.1.x and a V2 runs 5.x.
Yes, it's confusing. Netgear made a serious error in jugement when it released the Duo and NV+ "V2" units so named because they already had units marked as V2 or V3, though those were not intended to be part of the model name. They simply represent very minor changes in the hardware, whereas the "real" V2's are a complete re-design.
So, you cannot use the 4TB drives due to hardware limitations. Fortunately, you came here first and asked.
Dear Sensei,
it looks, not so easy, with my Netgear, please find sticker attached - it says RND4000 v3 (serial No. also visible), but NV+at front door.
Can you please look at it once again. I have two choices I think - if it is NV+ only replace 1 drive with WD2002FFSX or
if it is v3 (NGR-RND4250-4450), replace all drives 4TB WD40EFZX.
Im still confused...
TIA
