I'm approaching hull breach on my EX475 ( 4x Seagate 7200.11 Barracuda 1tb ) . Its working fine at the moment but I think its about time for an upgrade .
Has anyone ever used/upgraded from these ? To other Seagates ? Or anything else ?

Any help appreciated ,

Any 2TB SATA drive will be fine, just be aware of Advanced Format drives.

I'm personally using a Western Digital Red 2Tb drive in my EX495 and it's working well. A search on this site will turn up many discussions.

Thanks for that , Alex . Ill do some more digging . Maybe I could leave the OS drive alone and upgrade the other 3 to give me some room ??

Sure, upgrading the data drives is easier than the system drive.

Are you able to use that WD Red without the jumper?

I have been recycling my older drives in my MSS units.
