RN212 with 6TB HD showing o bytes
Howdy All, i have just set up my RN212 with a 6TB hard drive. When i go into ReadyNAS the hard drive is seen with 5.45TB free space. However, when i look at properties via explorer it shows...
No, I have a 6TB hard drive mounted in a Netgear RN212 (2 bay Desktop ReadyNAS Storage) connected via Eathernet cable to a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 Router.
Ahh oke, so you have one (of the two bays) populated with a 6TB hard drive right now?
From the looks of it, this sounds like a new setup (or re-setup at least)? If that is the case, and you don't have any data on that drive that you care about, then perform a factory default from the boot menu (this will erase any data on that disk and wipe it and set up NAS anew).

i "think" (please note the quotation marks) that is what i did last night but i will try it again.
How long should the format take to complete?
Thanks
