ReadyNAS Ultra restriping.
Hello fellow NAS-owners, i hope i post this in the right section. Anyways, long story short: i recently made a factory default on my NAS with 5 WD Red 3tb disks in it. After that i started to co...

Sounds more like there might be a wiring issue or an overloaded circuit to me. If this happens fairly regularly, it would make sense to have an electrician take a closer look.
Thanks for the reply guys.
Yeah, i will definately report this to the landlord (it’s a rental so it’s free service).
Strange that it does it from time to time and not all the time, seems to always be when there are only a couple of minutes left on the program. Anyways, it will be reported, the dryer is dead too so merry christmas to the owners 😁.
The NAS finished the striping process and then continued to resync and that went fine as well, am i good now?
I want that good feeling back when it felt like my NAS was like new again, i recently bought two new drives for it (still one left to put in/replace). Is my NAS golden now? Could something else go wrong?
To my surprise it reports 8.1TB, shouldn’t it be more like 10TB? I have 6xWD Red 3TB in RAIDX2 DR.
What UPS do you guise recommend?

- Something is fishy, i did some basic math and: 6x3=18.
8.1TB available out of 18TB in total? Should 9.9TB serve as security for only 8.1TB?If you chose RAID-6/dual redundancy, then 6 TB are used for the parity blocks needed for redundancy. That leaves 12 TB for storage. But the NAS reports in TiB, so it should be reporting 10.9 TB.
It sounds like the expansion didn't happen when you inserted the 6th drive.
- that’s what i thought, perhaps something did go wrong during the restriping process after all.
I’m grateful for the answers i got in this thread, thanks guise.
I tried to reboot but it didn’t change from 8.1 to 10 so i powered off the NAS and booted it into the Disk Test mode and last time i checked it was at 90%.
Looks like i’m going to need to order another drive, backup the data and do another factory default, i guess that is the only way to be sure that the volume is healthy.
Regarding a UPS, is there something special i need to think about when getting one? Compatibility, Watts and what not?
