3 TopicsWhich hardware compatibility to use for OS6.x on Legacy hardware?
Hi guys, Some time ago, I upgraded my ReadyNAS Pro 6 to OS6 and it's working flawlessly. Now I would like to upgrade the hard disks, and I'm considering a set of WD Red Pro WD6002FFWX 6TB drives, but I wonder what compatibility list applies to my configuration. Thanks.OS 6.6.1 on Ultra 6 - Temperature readings incorrect
This looks to be a bug in 6.6.1 using my Ultra 6 (legacy) NAS. And I can't make sense of what is wrong: We have a ducted air conditioned house at around 25 degrees ambient My "CPU temperature" seems to have a "floor" of at or around 35 degrees and doesn't deviate too much from it, no matter the load... My "System temperature" fluctuates more erratically and is a higher temperature I decided to run a stress test (using "stress" via SSH). I ran a 5 minute test, with results below: The graph says the light blue CPU temp fluctuates from 47 to 57 degrees - which does not align to the text temp under the graph. Same is true for dark-blue system, which temperate increase lags the light-blue CPU, but the text under the graph says it's the lower temperature. So I guess I am trying to say: The thermometer temp guages at the top should be switched around so the system temp is ~35 degrees and is relatively stable (given the Hard disks are between 33-37 degrees, and air conditioning at 25 degrees) and the CPU temperature should be at 47 degrees and fluctuate more widely with load... The text under the graph should also be swapped. Funny thing is, sensors via SSH shows: coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter CPU: +35.0°C (crit = +100.0°C) it8721-isa-0a10 Adapter: ISA adapter V5_0: +4.96 V (min = +4.76 V, max = +5.14 V) V3_3: +3.28 V (min = +3.13 V, max = +3.46 V) V1_8: +1.81 V (min = +1.50 V, max = +2.10 V) V-12: -12.10 V (min = -13.24 V, max = -10.73 V) 3VSB: +3.24 V (min = +3.14 V, max = +3.46 V) Vbat: +3.34 V System: 1205 RPM (min = 399 RPM) System: +52.0°C (low = +1.0°C, high = +80.0°C) sensor = thermal diode So OS6 web dashboard is showing what SENSORS is showing - but SENSORS has to be wrong... doesn't it?New OS6 NAS No Longer offers XRAID2(Raid6) option
with the original Business Pro NAS (6 drive bays) that shipped with OS Ver 4.x on the original Setup (or Factory reset) - you could specify XRAID2 - Dual Redunancy (XRAID6) Now if you upgrade this NAS to the latest 6.7.1 (it switches to XRAID5) or if you buy a NEW NAS with OS6 like RN716X you cannot get XRAID2(RAID6) because you only have 6 drives.. you must switch to FlexRAID6 here is the problem with XRAID2(Raid6) -vs- Flexraid6 lets say we have a NAS with the following drives (6TB, 1TB, 2.5TB, 4TB, 3TB, 500GB, 750GB) according to the Netgear Xraid Calulator under XRAID6 you would get 6.5Tib usable, 4.55Tib protection and 5Tib unused -vs - 2.5Tib usable 931Gib protection & 13Tib unused. So is the only way to get XRAID6 is to buy a NAS with 8 or 12 Bays? so would it actually be better to NOT upgrade from Ver4.x to 6.x on PRO6 if you value data protection dual redundancy & wanted maximum usable space -vs- flexraid - Lastly the release Notes for 6.7.1 says it now supports "additional FlexRaid options" and " single volume expansion" could someone explain this..Solved
