Replacing a drive

[josephdecarie]

Hi,

I own a LaCie Network Space Max 4Tb. One of the internal drives failed and I'm wondering if I must replace it with the exact same drive.

The drive model installed is the Seagate Barracuda Green ST2000DL001 2TB. I'm thinking of replacing it with the Seagate Desktop HDD 2TB 3.5" SATA3 64MB Cache OEM Hard Drive (ST2000DM001).

Thanks you

You should be able to use any drive so long as it is the same size. You might want to check the LBA size of both drives and make sure the new one has at least the same, if not slightly higher LBA just to be safe.

Brand shouldn't matter, I'm pretty sure those use a type of linux OS and will run any drive.

Here's some upgrade instructions from the manufacturer that might help.
