    If the disks are blank, then the Ultra should be doing a factory install - partitioning them, etc. 

     

    Perhaps try zeroing one of the disks again with Seatools, and then power up the Ultra with that disk in slot 1 (leaving slot 2 empty).  If that works, then hot-insert disk 2.

Try unformatting the disk in Windows (open the Windows disk manager and delete every "volume" on the drive).

 

Or zero it using WD's Lifeguard program or Seagate's Seatools.

      If you boot up the system diskless, does RAIDar give you the normal "no disks" status?

       

      Have you tried testing the disks with vendor tools (lifeguard or seatools)?

        Seatools dosent report any problems with the disks
