RN10222D Vertical Expansion - First Time
I'm expanding from 2TB to 4TB on my RN102. I purchased compatible drives (Hitachi Deskstar NAS HDN724040ALE640). The system is running X-Raid Raid 1. I am not clear on how to know if the system is...
Thank you all for your responses. If the drives were indeed compatible, then there may have been another problem. Both of the drives I tested were not recognized by the BIOS (discovered through the .log files). I did receive notification of an update to the firmware today (2016/06/24) and that update may or may not contain a fix to the problem I was having.
I returned the two drives and purchased two WD RED WD40EFRX (Western Digital 4TB MFR # WDBMMA0040HNC-NRSN). These two drives behaved as expected and my vertical expansion was a success.
On a final note I do want to say I am completely pleased with the ReadyNas 102. The system is very easy to use and the expansion, when using proper disks, is easy as pie...
Thank you all.
If you're unfamiliar with my model, if you could tell me what you experienced when you expanded your drive capacity, I would appreciate that also.
Something isn't right.
Try removing the 2nd drive (being very careful to grab the correct one!) with the NAS running. Then try re-inserting the disk tray, making sure it is properly seated.
You should see a log entry telling you that the disk insertion was detected.
