NV+ and 3TB HD

[esmadja]

Will the ForceExpansion add-on enable the ReadyNAS NV+ to run with 3TB drives?
I am running the 4.1.6 Firmware release.
I currently have 1.5TB Seagate drives and want to expand to 3TB drives.

Is there anything special I will need to do.

Thanks,

No. 3TB drives are incompatible with Sparc ReadyNAS (e.g. NV+). 3rd party development for the Sparc platform stopped well before GPT support was added. You can only use hard drives up to 2TB in capacity.

Just to confirm, the NV+ will not receive support for >2 TB drives in the future?

Well as a fellow ReadyNAS user, I could only guess, but I think it's highly unlikely the situation will change.

x86 ReadyNAS (e.g. Ultra, Pro) support 3TB drives. I would suggest getting one of these and transferring your data across your network to it (you can't migrate disks from Sparc to x86).
