RN214 not recognizing new drive
Hi, I have a readynas RN214. I currently have 2 4TB setup with RAID1 config. Few months ago the drive on Bay 2 died and I replaced it with a new drive. I recall i didnt need to do anything, just swap...

What am i doing wrong? Is the new drive also defective?
If the drive doesn't show up at all on the volume page, then it likely is defective. You can check it by connecting it to a Windows PC (SATA or a USB adapter/dock) and using WD's dashboard utility.
Or just exchange it with the seller.
