ReadyNAs NV+ drive compatibility

[franmiele]

I need to replace one of my drives which is a Seagate st2000dm001 anmd no longer available. Will the

Seagate 2TB BarraCuda SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive (ST2000DM006) work in it's place.

You are better off with a Ironwolf (ST2000VN004).  They are designed for NAS/RAID use.

We've seen a lot of issues show up here with DM drives.

Note the compatibility list hasn't been updated for a long time, so it is no longer useful as a guide. NAS-purposed drives (both Ironwolf and WDC Red) are good choices for your NAS.  Enterprise drives are fine too, but in my opinion are overkill - your NAS is limited by it's CPU, not by the drives.

I have had a lot of failures with the DM drives. Thank you for your recommendation.
