Best way to swap drives ReadyNAS nv+ v2
I know that my ReadyNAS nv+ v2 is no longer supported, however I would like to use it as a place to store data that can easily be reproduced. I've had it fitted from day 1 with two 3 TB Western Digital WD30EFRX drives using X-raid2 (effectively using RAID-1 giving me 3 TB of net capacity). I got hold of four 3 TB Hitachi DK7SAD300 drives; my plan is to install all 4 drives in my ReadyNAS (giving me 9 TB of net capacity in RAID-5). Here's what I plan to do: Create a backup of the existing data on one of the Hitachi DK7SAD300 drives (done). Remove existing two Western Digital WD30EFRX drives from my ReadyNAS. Install three of the four Hitachi DK7SAD300 drives in my ReadyNAS; perform a factory reset and install using RaidAR version 4.3.8; my plan is to use X-raid2 again, so will end up with a single volume. Copy the data back from the backup created under (1). Finally, insert the final Hitachi DK7SAD300drive in the ReadyNAS (destroying the backup on there). Any suggestions or recommendations? Alternatively, I could create a backup on one of the two Western Digital WD30EFRXdrives (removing one from the ReadyNAS). And configure the ReadyNAS with all four Hitachi DK7SAD300 drives from the start. Only drawback is that I would have to backup my data once more (which will take a couple of days over 1 Gbps ethernet). And should I use or 4.3.8 of RaidAR software? I also came across 6.5.0. Finally, should the above plan hit any issues. Can I still put my two Western Digital WD30EFRX drives back in my ReadyNAS? Thanks!
C6300 wifi 2.4ghz and 5ghz The speed of the Internet will drop randomly.
I used time warm cable service,Recently,I upgraded my network plan is 100MB, connecting 2.4ghz or 5ghz wifi , for example, I went to ping wwwgoogle.com-t appeared sometimes “Request Timed Out”, about five minutes there. I thought it was set up the problem, restore factory settings, but the problem still exists, before my network service package is 30MB, without this problem, my firmware is the latest!Purchased 12TB ReadyNas 214, only seeing 8TB available.
I purchased the 12TB model of NETGEAR ReadyNAS 214, 4x3TB Desktop (RN214D43-100NES) on Amazon, but I only appear to be getting 8TB, and I'm wondering if they sent me the wrong model? See "data 8.17 free of 8.17" In "Volumes", the display on the right indicates I DO have 4x3TB (which should = 12TB), but the display on the left still shows only 8.17 TB available. Is this a result of RAID 5 and all is normal? Or is something wrong? Where are are my other 4TBs? I'm on a Macbook using OS X Yosemite 10.10.5, and firmware 6.4.1. Thanks in advance for any help!
