Disc does not show
I have added a “WD20EARX Caviar Green SATA2 2TB, 64Mb” hard disc to my ReadyNas NV+. It already housed two “Seagate ST3750640NS SATA 750 GB”. In the admin interface, all disks are visible but only ...
What shows up in the Volume Settings page (under Volumes in the menu bar on the left) in Frontview?
What version of RAIDiator are you running?
If the disk is accepted, the system will accept a disk equal to or larger than the smallest disk in the array. Since you have two 750GB disks, a good 2TB disk should be accepted. However, the WD20EARX is a 4K sector disk as compared to the 750GB disks previously in the array which are 512K sector drives. In order to support 4K sector drives (most of the new ones are) you need to perform a factory default on RAIDiator 4.1.7 or later.To do this you would have to update your current and complete backup, update RAIDiator and then do a factory default. Restore the data from the backup and then hot add the 2TB.
