NV+ V2 and the WDC WD30EZRX and 5.3.5

[gandalfnet]

Hi Folks,

a word of warning these drives work PERFECT with large file copies with firmware version 5.3.2
Had it for over a month and copied over 5 TB of data with no issues.

BUT the new 5.3.5 totally breaks these drives and will crash your NAS on big file copies...

Is there anyone that can get ahold of the Firmware folks and let them know?
This drive is on the compatability list for the DUO V2 but not the NV+ V2 (I could of swore it was on before)
Which does not make sense since it looks like the DUO and the NV+ V2's are idendical...

Cheers!

Can anybody confirm if the new firmware 5.3.6 corrects the issue with these drives?

[gandalfnet]

Nope did not know there was a new version...

I need to do a big back up and give it a try next week!

Happy Days!
Looks like they fixed the large file transfer issue with 5.3.7!
I was able to stream a file while copying three 4.2 gig files with no issues!
then I transfered a 14 gig movie file from the unit and back to it with no problems!
