Netgear ReadyNAS Duo RND2120 v2

Hi lovely people 

 

I have the Netgear ReadyNAS Duo RND2120 v2    with 2x 2TB with Raid 1

I’m thinking of put in 2 x 8TB or 10TB

When I go on to the Select your device to display Hard Disk Compatibility list: ( https://kb.netgear.com/20641/ReadyNAS-Hard-Disk-Compatibility-List )

 

The options available are :

  • ReadyNAS RN2120

Or

  • Legacy > ReadyNas Duo v2

Or

  • Legacy > ReadyNas 2100

Which one do I choose?

Is it wreath upgrading?

you help will be greatly appreciated

Thank you very for your help

Does your NAS say Duo on the front panel?

Or does it say Duo v2 on the front panel?

Thx.

 

Your NAS is limited to 2 TB disks, so you are unfortunately already at max disk size

 

As far as the HCL goes, you'd pick "legacy" and then "ReadyNAS Duo".  However, Netgear doesn't keep the list up to date for legacy models, and your NAS ended production back in 2011.  When you do need to replace disks, I suggest using either WD's Red Plus - WD20EFRX or Seagate's Ironwolf ST2000VN004.  I don't recommend desktop drives (or WD's Red WD20EFAX), as many are SMR drives that aren't well suited to RAID.
