New NAS Long Re-Synch
I just booted up my new RN104 with 3 disks (3TB Each) turned it on updated the firmware (Had issues wouldnt boot had to do USB recovery) 2 of the Disks were used one was brand new all are the sam...
Yeah, that sounds perfectly normal. I think from memory my initial resync on my RN104 took about the same time. It makes no difference whether the drives are empty or full. The Sync is done at the block level, so it still takes a while even with empty disks. The main limiting factor is the low powered chip, which makes the device cheaper (and use less power), but also means resyncs take longer.
thanks...Oh good i thought one of the drives were faulty becuase the 2 used drives have done like 18000hrs up time. Gonna replace the old drives with new ones in the coming months to be safe incase they both decide to fail at the same time.
Guess im just impatient it it ok to use the drive or am i better off just waiting?
