Re: Existing NAS 4000 user with questions
Welcome to the ProoCooling Forum, Snap Threads.
I would suggest that you read the FAQ's and the WIKI info on the snap servers.
In general 4000 are upgradable to 1T, where the 4100 does not support LBA48bit addressing, max <137gig HD's. Provided you have the proper OS. Adaptec will send you a link on request for v3.4.807 (last free v) if you ask them nicely.
If you run "co de info" from debug will tell you drive info. If you upgrade to v3, I recommend that you do a total reinit of the drives. Due to the fact that v2 -3&4 calculate the starting point of the drives differently. If you ever have a drive failure this will bite you if not done.
V4 had a lot of bug fixes and fully compatiable with XP. You may or may not run into them. Personally V4 is the only way to go, runs smoother than v3. Since you are on v2 you will need to do the upgrade using assist. An any case NEVER USE MORE THAN 90% OF Available SPACE.
This should get you started.
