Netgear ReadyNAS 3TB issues

NV+ V1 not support 3TB drive
NV+ V1 Revision V2 not support 3TB
NV+ V2 support 3TB

Note:

Unfortunately Netgear decided to name the new ARM based series of the ReadyNAS product line quite similar to the old Sparc products. So make sure to not confuse the Sparc based Duo/NV+ with their newer cousins Duo v2/NV+ v2. To make matters worse there are Duos on the market that have a "v2" sticker on their back - which actually means "Duo (v1) hardware revision v2". To easily identify what version of the Duo/NV+ you own, just open up the web interface for managing your ReadyNAS. They are quite different on the ARM based products.
  • On Sparc based products the web interface looks like this:
    Frontview on ReadyNAS Sparc 
  • On ARM based products it will look like this:
    Web Interface on ReadyNAS ARM

Physical difference



Similarly with the NV+ v1


and the NV+ v2
