Adding 6x 2TB disks to a Ultra 6....
Hi there, Just bought myself a diskless Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra 6, I'm going to add (initially) two Samsung HD204UI Spinpoint F4 drives, and then a week later, a further 4 drives (same make and mode...
You won't need to factory reset the NAS. If you do initial setup (or last factory reset) on 4.2.12 or later (4.2.12 was first firmware for the Ultra 6) disks will all be 4k sector aligned.
Install your 2 disks, upgrade to latest RAIDiator and do a factory reset. This will give a clean setup on the latest firmware.
Then when you get them add your additional disks one at a time. You may wish to consider migrating to dual-redundancy: http://support.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/19044/~/converting-and-xraid2-system-to-dual-redundancy
The Ultra 6 does not support business features e.g. NIC Teaming/Failover. You can use both NICs though.
