4TB disks on ReadyNas Ultra 6?
I just bought a ReadyNAS ULTRA 6 for a great price of less than USD 600,- including a 2TB Seagate disk. Waste of space with only 1 x 2TB, so need to get some new disks... The plan was to fill it up w...
Put one disk in the NAS, update the firmware to the latest, verify the update is successful, then power down, put the reset of the disks in and do a factory default using the boot menu. I would strongly recommend using RAID-6 or X-RAID2 dual-redundancy.
I would go with NAS drives. I would definitely avoid Green drives, though if you must use WD Green disks make sure you run WDIDLE3 on them.
When doing a factory default the resync would take from several hours to maybe a day or two. With higher capacity disks it will take longer than lower capacity disks as the disks have to be synced sector by sector.
