I had a drive failure on my WD20000D033 (Ethernet MyBookWorld ‘blue light’ edition) a long time ago. I put it in a box and mostly forgot about it.
I’ve just pulled the drives and was about to order replacements when I wondered… Can I replace these with something bigger? It’s housing a pair of 1T Caviar WD10EACS drives at the moment. Those are a bit old.
What’s the recommended replacement drive?
And… what can I get away with? Could I put a pair of 3Ts in there? That would be SWEET!
I don’t know specifically which sizes are acceptable. However, your odds are better for 2 TB than for 3 TB. Whether larger will work depends on the hardware interface and the flavor of Linux the box is running. I know of a Debrick Guide on this forum for My Book Live and MBL Duo.
