Greetings,
Tried a few things to resolve this without much luck. I think you are spot on with the NAS trying to do a vertical expansion as I was slowly introducing 2TB drives into the system one at a time, replacing the 4 x 1TB drives. On the third disk the system reported a disk failure and I re-inserted the 1TB drive while I ran diagnostics on the drive. After 48 hours of testing using WD diagnostics the 2TB drive looks Ok and I am inclined to believe the NAS V2 is a lot more "fussy" over the drives than the V1 model I have.
After spending nearly a month of trying to get this NAS ready for doing some real work I'll leave it as is until space becomes a problem. I'll just remember to back up a lot and await some sort of failure.
Thanks for your help & feedback.
