Changing HDD 2x 6TB
Hi there, I tried to change my disks (before 3 TB) and bought two WD Red 6 TB. First I changed disk 2 (take off the old one an put in the new). It seemed to me, that the synchronisation works. It...
It works!!!!!
Thank you for your help. It was a hard way to change the disks and without your helf .....:smileysad:
I summarize what I´ve learned:
1. Never ever change a disk if you aren´t VERY SHURE that the synchronisation is ready!
2. Always change the disk, when the NAS is working (hot swapping)!
3. Reboot in case of little errors.
Hi Marc,
thank you for your answer. (My english is not very good, so I´m not shure whether I understand you. Ok, let´s try :-)
I got no warnings
RAIDar is a special software, right? I downloaded and extracted ....but what to do now?? No *exe!!??
When I call the NAS in my Browser the system info says "Volume scan failed to tun properly" and (in german) "the paths to the shares can´t be found. This happens when ReadyNAS coundn´t reach the volume".
Does it matter whether the disks are in shaft 1 or 2 (I changed first 2 and than 1)?

What version did you download? What operating system are you using on the PC? Windows?
I work with Windows10; downloaded RAIDiator 5.3.13 and installed it with the dashboard, "firmware update". Probably this was the wrong way; no more shares and no reports :-(
Maybe I´ll do best, repaeting the whole procedure. What do you mean?
.....Installing the one of the old disks (3 TB) and on of the new (6TB)....synchronizing .... and changing the second one.
How can I´m shure that the first synchronizing prozess is completed?
