    Did you just install these disks? If so did you use the disks before putting them in the ReadyNAS?

    Did you install all the disks at once?

    Is your data backed up?
  • ok got the problem,, was not memory, one harddrive failed, we did a seagate tool test and it failed.

    so format all the drives in a PC and re-installed it .... 100%

    thank you

    Have you checked the 3TB drive using SeaTools?

    When you checked the drives before did you run both short and long tests?

    Have you run the memory test?
  • Hello,

    I am having exactly the same problem with 3 new Seagate 3TB ST3000DM001 disks, which are also on the HCL...
    Did you find any solution on your problem??
