RDNU4000 w/ 4 WD2002FAEX

Hi

I just bought a RDNU4000 and I'm trying to use 4x WD2002FAEX. With 3 disks the unit boots, but with 4 it boots 2 sec, then shutdown, then reboot, then shutdown, etc.
Is the PSU not strong enough for 4x WD2002FAEX?

  • Probably faulty disk...
    Try to check it with HDD manufacturers utility (outside ReadyNAS ofcourse)

    Looks like DOA , at least to me...
  • The device can boot with only the drive 4, or drives 1-3.

    I booted with drive 1,2,3, created an x-raid2, once it was booted I added the disk 4. Device detected it and didn't reboot. I'm waiting for the resync (drive 1-3), then I'll reboot it to install the latest firmware and see if it still boots.
  • works now.

    I booted with 3 disks, set x-raid2, added (hot) the 4th disks. Raid expended automaticly.
    I upgraded the firmware and rebooted. Rebooted ok :)
