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 ...
making sure i did this correctly.
i upgraded to 4.1.7-T60 and factory defaulted my NV+ with 1 hitachi 2TB off the HCL and with 2 2T F4 drives and all went really well getting the 4k drives installed thanks to everyones help.
i just got my last 2TB F4 drive in and put it into the last bay and turned the nv+on.
my LED pattern show the 3 green lights for bays 1-3 lit on and bay 4 flashing quickly. The activity light blinks 2-3X per minute. The blue power light is constant.
i am able to access raidar and i have a yellow circle next to the nas mac address. I can go into setup and it says its initializing and i did get a notice that initializing has begun.
is it normal to have that yellow circle on raidar?. I dont remember that when i did the factory reset and i remember more blinking on the activity light.
how long does initializing typically take before i see the redundancy notice with time remaining for that disk?
thanks for any advice.
edit: just looked at the RAID settings tab and looks like initialization will take about 9 hours. :roll: Doh!
