Hard drive compatibility and vertical expansion
I have a readynas 516 running 6.6.0 and i tried to replace a WD Black Enterprise 1 TB drive with a WD green 2 TB drive. i knew it was NOT on the compatabiliy listing and was not fully surprised it d...
sorry, i thought it would email me but it did not. I did a full scan the drive with WD tools and found no issues. It was a Green 2 TB drive. However i obtained two WD Red 2 TB drives and used one of those. same size, but it did expand automatically. unsure if it does not like some green drives.
however upon further inspection, i realize i have 4 WD Red drives and 2 WD Green drives. I am going to plan on migrating out the greens, but the system is stable and I am happy now.
it was very odd.
