ReadyNAS enhancement
I have a client using a ReadyNAS 312.
They have 2 USB drives they use to backup the ReadyNAS contents.
One stays attached and is the target for a scheduled nightly backup.
The other they attach as desired and use the backup button to run a backup to the drive manually.
We just replaced the USB Drives we were using with 2 new WD My Passport Portable USB drives.
The cases of these new drives are different colors but otherwise the drives are the same make and model.
The problem is that in the ReadyNAS "Overview" display there is no way to tell the drives apart so if I wanted to reformat one, or eject one, my only clue as to which is which would be any differences in the disk usage information.
On the Shares/Browse screen each drive gets a unique, numbered designation and under Properties allows you to edit a description field for the drive but none of these labels show on the "Overview" display.
I would like to see the "Description" field shown under the Shares/Browse screen added to the drive information displayed in the "Overview" screen so matching drives can easily be distinguished from one another.
