      Do you see the second disk in the web admin interface of the NAS? The system could be doing a resync to add the disk to your array.

    Hi Pornlapas,

     

    To know the status of the newly added disk, either you open the device admin page (frontview) or the RAIDar utility in your PC. If the disk LED is blinking, probably it's doing a resync.

     

    Let me know if you have further questions.

     

     

    Kind regards,

        What NAS do you have and what firmware is it running?
