Seagate ST31500341AS 1.5TB
Any idea when this will be supported :-) Cliff
Thanks guys. I'll call the support number as soon as things settle down.
It probably is a blown transformer (I seem to recall this smell from blowing up transistor radios in my youth). I posted here for two reasons: 1) I don't know the paradigm of these fora. 2) I suspect that these new Seagate 1.5TB drives are the culprits. I haven't had time to check the spec sheets, but I suspect that the 1.5TB drives draw more power than the 750GB drives they just replaced. I thought that this experience should be part of our ongoing quest to get these drives working in the ReadyNAS. I hope Netgear doesn't go and de-list them permanently though. I'm rather committed to them at this point. :-o
If someone could point me to some info on replacing power supplies in the ReadyNAS NV+ I'd be grateful. I assume that I have to break the "break seal void you warranty" seal. :-/
Also, if there's a thread about dust accumulation patterns inside the ReadyNAS, let me know. I have some gnarly pictures.
On the plus side, I now know where the RAM module lives, so maybe I'll upgrade before putting it all back together. :-)
