Does anyone have 5.3.2 firmware for NV+ v2?

Hi,

I am having the same problem as lots of other people with the NV+2 and WD30EZRX drives. In other posts users are saying that the 5.3.2 firmware is fine and its the 5.3.5 firmware thats causing the problem. Netgear only have 5.3.5 and 5.3.6 available on their site. Does anyone have a copy of 5.3.2 I could have?

Does anyone know if 5.3.6 solves the problem?

Also it would be nice if an administrator could comment on why the WD30EZRX drives were pulled from the HCL? Its just seems a bit strange that the drives dissapear from the HCL and then a firmware update renders these drives useless?

Is there a planned fix for this as I'm sure countless people bought WD30EZRX drives (like you told them to on your HCL).

Thanks for your Help

Hi robclarke41,
Please don't buy WD GREEN HDD for RAID building.
WD officially doesn't support RAID user cases in more than 2-bay devices for Green HDD.

All the versions of 5.3.x firmware can be found here. However, going that far back may remove may of the features that have recently been added. Read the notes of all the releases from 5.3.3 and above.

Thanks PapaBear, when I download the firmware though all I get is a text file? Am I supposed to change the file extension or something to be able to use it?

It's not a text file.

Open the Dashboard, click Configure, go to System > Settings > Update, click Install Firmware, browse for the location you downloaded the firmware image to etc.
