ReadyNas 102 new hdd not detected
Hello, I just bought a new HDD ( ST2000NT001 - Seagate IronWolf 2 TB) but when I insert it in my readynas 102 it is not detected. I know that this disk is not in the HCL (hardware compatibility l...
erf, I reflected a bit over what you said about the disk not getting enough power and I found the cause : I couldn't find the right alim for the nas so I picked something that was matching the connector => a block with 12V - 1A. I tried with another one, this time 12v - 3A and now the NAS can detect the disk (disk led is alight, disk is detected on the web UI).
I feel so dumb --'
Thanks for your help and time.
Anyway, I ran seatools with the "quick test" feature, it passed without any error or warning (the disk is new so I wouldn't have expected otherwise). I can run an extended one if you want.
Interesting.
FWIW, my own practice is to run the
- quick test
- extended test
- write test (single pass overwrite)
before I put the disk into the NAS. That is because I've some out-of-the-box disks pass the extended test, but fail the write test - and vice-versa.
You could run the extended tests, but the NAS normally would just do the short smart test - which I think is the same as the quick test.
Just wondering - did you try swapping the tray, and see if that makes any difference? I'm thinking that maybe the power or SATA connection isn't quite there.
