recommended hd`s for netgear readynas duo? - joeranjensen - 2011-03-16

Hello

I have a Netgear ready nas duo with 1 tb hd (Seagate ST31000528AS). Now I want to uppgrade to 2x2 tb. So, the big question: which hd should I go for? I know I can check http://www.readynas.com/?page_id=82 to see what discs who are compatible, but I would appreciate some more specific recommendations.

My plan is to allso bye a usb cabinett for the old 1tb disk, and just disconnect it from the nas without transfer my files from the 1tb disc to one of the 2tb discs, and then change out the 1tb with the second 2tb. If you understand what im trying to say with my poor englishRolleyes And then use the old disk as an external disk.
Maybe you can recommend one of those cabinets aswell?

Thanks in advanceSmile

thanks for your quick replySmile

I know this sounds stupid but, can you please check that this the same hd as you told me about? http://www.netshop.no/Avdelinger/Datautstyr/Harddisk/3,5--S-ATA-(stasjon%C3%A6r)/Western-Digital/Western-Digital-2TB-Green-3,5,-SATA-64MB-Cache,-5400-7200RPM,-3-GB-s-40411.aspx

And can I use this cabinett for the 1tb disc? http://www.netshop.no/Avdelinger/Datautstyr/Harddisk/Hardisk-tilbeh%C3%B8r/Kabinett-3-5-/Akasa-Elite-HDD-Kabinett-Sort-Aluminium-35-SATA,-USB-20,-eSATA,-Hot-swap-44591.aspx

Thanks

I have a couple of Samsung SpinPoint HD203WI 2TB's in mine and they work perfectly. I think you have to be careful with the newer HD204's, something to do with 4K sectors.
