Changing both HDD's at once?
Hello!
I bought ReadyNAS Duo few days ago, and put two Samsung F3 1 TB HD103SJ drives in.
I didn't notice that Samsung SJ -series isn't in the HDD HCL.
So, my question is: Can I change both drives to supported Seagate models at once. I understand that all my RAID 1 data will lost in that case, but it's ok.
Thanks for answers!

- If wiping out all the data on the disks is Ok, then yes (or in this case just starting from scratch again).
Power down the unit and replace both disks. Then follow the procedure to do a factory reset from the boot menu...
http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how ... ry_default - Or, you could replace them sequentially and thus save what data is on them, or backup to one of the new drives, shut down the Duo and remove both Samsung drives. Then install the second Seagate and re-initialize the system and once it is up (no resync so it will only take about 15 minutes or so. Then restore the data from the Seagate used for backup. Then wipe the partitions and hot add the drive and let it resync.
Three ways - your choice.
