Seagate ST4000VN000 new version
I have a legacy Business Pro ReadyNas that is still working. I want to replace a 3GTB drive with a 4TB drive. There are only three items on the legacy approved list: Seagate, HGST and WD. In the past I've had problems with the WD Reds as well as the HGSTs. The Seagate is the ST4000VN000, but it is no longer a current Seagate model. Has anyone used another 4TB Seagate NAS/Enterprise drive in an old Business Pro? Worked OK? Suggestions? Thank you in advance.ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition Hard Drive
I'm looking for the compatibility list for hard drives, specifically for legacy products. I have a hard drive in a Business Pro that's had increasing reallocated sector counts. Does the compatibility list still exist? I have not been able to find it. Also, I upgraded this Business Pro to 6.6.0 last year and it's been working fine. I see there is a newer version, 6.6.1. I generally like to keep OSs current, but I'm leary because it's such an old unit and I know it's not supposed to officially support 6.6.n. I'd like to hear if anyone else has one of these older units from 6.6.0 to 6.6.1. Thank you in advance.Solved
Power Timer not turning on OS6 FW 6.4.1 - Legacy Ultra 6
I recently acquired an Ultra 6 Plus, which I upgraded to OS 6, FW 6.4.1, for use in backups. The Power Timer function (which I liked better in the old NV+ models, since I could specify minutes) turns the U6+ off, but does not turn it on. I'm currently using a cron entry on my DD-WRT router to do a WOL job to turn the U6+ on at the specified time (3:50am). Needless to say, it's a fix smacking of Rube Goldberg, though not as good as the one in this simple alarm clock (No, this is NOT my proposed fix, perfume is expensive, and so are cannonballs). Hardware: ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus Firmware: 6.4.1 Time: correct Power Timer: currently 2am to 11am (so I can verify it turned on for to do backups, will shorten to 6 or 7am when assured of regular backups) Backup jobs: currently 4am to 6am (rsync pulls) WOL: enabled DD-WRT router cron WOL job: 3:50AM Ay suggestions on how I can fix this? I'm willing to SSH in if need be, but not completely comfortable in linux. -kevinb1 (formerly imsai on infrant/netgear, how do I change my handle back?) P.S. I'm also getting fan underspeed warnings, but one thing at a time....Solved
