I do not know the origin of the problem, if it was an update or was, since it came working correctly.
Do you mean one is working with 2x2TB and the other is 2x4TB?

The problem is that the ReadyNas has stopped recognizing the 4TB Western Digital brand WD4003FZEX discs, prompting me to format them.
As I have a third disk of the same model, format this disk and I get to the same problem, it does not recognize it.
The ReadyNAS sees 4TB disks as 16TB disks and with incorrect geometry.
Did you format the disks? If so, it should be done via the admin page. Also, make sure you have full backup of the data.

I have tested by placing these 4TB disks in the same computer model that has the 2TB disks and the problem persists.
I need to know the correct parameters for a mirror configuration, ie: how many partitions and how many cylinders, heads and sectors in each partition assigns to this hard disk model.
I need to retrieve the information. Regards,
Did you mean you tried the 4TB disks on your other RN102 that has 2TB disks?
If you are trying to recover data, it should be done by cloning the disk/s. Please also send the firmware version of the NAS.
