Thecus help...

[Greg Rosler]

Hi, I have a Thecus N5200 Standard (non PRO) and need more space. I wanted to use the new WD 2TB drives.

I saw this message on the HDD Compatibility List for the Thecus N5200:

"N5200 Standard (non PRO) does not recommend to use 1.5TB and larger hard disk drive"

Does anyone know why you should not use larger drives? Is this just a Sales gimmic to get you to upgrade?

If I have to get another NAS I'm considering the Thecus N7700. Other than the cost involved does anyone have any pros or cons on the N7700?

Also, does anyone have a WD 2TB drive running on eithor the Thecus N5200 or the N7700?



Thanks,
Greg

It's hard to say. It could be a hardware or software situation that they havn't addressed yet. Or it could be that they tested the big Seagate drives and ran into the same problems that appear to be afflicting the 7200.11 series.

If the OEM tells you something like that, it is best to listen.
