Ready NAS NV+ v2 and WD30EFRX

[SistemasLM]

Hi, I have two WD30EFRX 3TB disk that appear in the Hard Disk Compatibility list for Ready NAS NV+ v2 and the hw only recognize 746GB.

How can I update to the full storage of 3TB?

Thx. Alejandro.-

This almost always means that you actually have an NV+ v1.  The labels are very confusing.

If you running 4.1.x firmware in the NAS then you certainly have a v1.  If you don't know the firmware version, then check this guide: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/

If I am right, and you have a v1:  The v1 only supports disks of <= 2 TB.  There is no workaround.

You are right Stephen, its 4.1.15 and also checked the layout of the NAS and its NV+ v1.

Bad news.

Thanks!
