list of complaints.

this piece of junk constantly dings


with power warnings, 1.58 expected 1.50
other warnings. unexpected errors. uncompleted tasks.

right now i tried to update the firmware or software or whatever the POS dinged it failed (OF COURSE!) but the update light is flashing, and it says it has "background tasks that prevent me from turning off"
it says the iscsi drive failed to be created but i also got a message saying it was created successfully.

typing in the unit IP defaults to "myshares" if its intended for a corporate environment "my shares" isnt a corporate structuring. one HAS TO KNOW to type in /admin to admin this.

your forum is also retarded with passwords i need a Capitol letter and a char and a num? not many forums require this type of security (FOR NO REASON ITS A STUPID READYNAS NOT FORT KNOX!!!)

'thanks for making me use a password i wont Fing remember.

if i had to choose again i WOULD NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS GET THIS POS

    Clear your Temporary Internet Files, close IE, reopen Frontview and take some fresh screenshots and post those.
  • the 8 tb limit will only come into play if you start with lets say 4x1tb drives and replace them with 4x4tb drives. your filesystem will increase more then 8 tb which will not be possible.. in that case a factory reset is required to utilize the full capacity.
  • 4.2.24 was what my nas needed.
    4.2.20 it was dysfunctional.
    4.1.xx it was just as dysfunctional.

    my iscsi came to life.
    it has 18.1 TB.
    it sees the actual disc drives.

    woo-freakin-hoo!!!








  • Just as a heads up, Opera 16 is now a Chrome clone.

    Genuine Opera died at v12.xx

    So you're still getting the error that the power is out of the normal range? Has support had anything to say about that?

    your guys's support is attrocious. everything takes so damn long to do. i lost more money in wasted man-hours then i saved not buying something GOOD.

    everything netgear is snowballing into a time-hole-nightmare.

    Just a reminder - support is not mdgm's "guys". He (like almost all posters here) is a user, and not a Netgear employee.
