ReadyNAS 102 With WD Red Pro WD4003FFBX Problems
Hi,
I have just purchased 2 X 4TB WD Red Pro WD4003FFBX hard drives to replace the existing 1TB disks and am having issues with the drives.
I have replaced drive 2 with one of the new drives and ...
I have now received the replacement WD Red Pro WD4003FFBX from the supplier, and am happy to report they installed with out an issue.
Step 1: Powered down the NAS and inserted one of the new drives into bay 2 (the original 1TB drive being kept in bay 1)
Step 2: Powered up the NAS and once booted could see that the X-RAID was rebuilding. The resync completed in 4 hours.
Step 3: Powered down the NAS and inserted the othe new drive into bay 1
Step 4: Powered up the NAS and once booted could see that the X-RAID was rebuilding. The resync completed in 3 hours, and the increases capacity was recognized.
The NAS is currently in the process of syncing volume data, but evrything looks good and there has been no loss of data.
Is the system in XRAID mode or FlexRAID mode?
If you aren't sure, look on the volume page of the web ui. If the XRAID control has a green stripe, then you are in XRAID mode.
