Spinpoint F4 HD204UI 2TB 5400 RPM working good so far
There was a recent deal at NewEgg on the SAMSUNG Spinpoint F4 HD204UI 2TB 5400 RPM 32MB drives, so I decided to risk it as opposed to the other WD & Seagate 2tb drives. I installed them, upgraded the ...
Just upgraded the two Spinpoint F3 HD103UI to two Spinpoint FD HD204UI in my ReadyNas Duo. Everything went as expected and the volume is now expanded.
I upgraded the Firmware to RAIDiator 4.1.7-T60 first, then unplugged the first disk and replaced it with the new 2TB disk. Initialization and resynch too just over 14 hours. I then did the same with the second disk and this took the same length of time.
Once the Volume was reported as Redundant, I rebooted the NAS from Frontview. Once it had started up again, it asked me to reboot to complete the Expansion. I rebooted a second time and just eight minutes later, the volume had been successfully expanded to 1859GB. :thumbsup:
