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.
When you said you think the problem is the power, you think that the NAS can't deliver enough power to the disk ?
that's a possibility
I can see SDA detected but few lines later I have this entry in the log in red :
Jul 22 03:15:26 nas-BF-30-5D kernel: ata2: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x4050000 action 0xe frozen
Jul 22 03:15:26 nas-BF-30-5D kernel: ata2: irq_stat 0x80000040, connection status changed
Jul 22 03:15:26 nas-BF-30-5D kernel: ata2: SError: { PHYRdyChg CommWake DevExch }
Those lines are getting back again and again sometimes with 0x4050000 sometimes with 0x4040000
What happens if you hot-insert the other disks that are not detected?

Great. Note the stock power adapter is 12v - 5A (60w), so this is still lower than it should be.
I know, I plan to buy a new one but at least I'm relieved I don't have to send the disk back
