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 ...
I need some guidance please
I've just gone back and re-read all relevant instructions on what to do. However I've got a couple of questions that the answers are not obvious to me.
1st. Do I update the radiator fimware to 4.1.7 before adding new Samsung disks, Factory Defaulting after adding Samsung disk? Or add one Samsung disk, let it sync and become redundant, and then update Radiator to 4.1.7 and then do Factory Default?
2nd. Once the first Samsung disk is synced and redundant with factory default, I add the second Samsung disk. Do I need a factory default a 2nd time, or 1st time is sufficient?.
3rd. What is the correct procedure for restoring the backup data? Do I wipe over existing data on the discs, eliminating data and basically dependent on backup restore not failing? This doesn't seem secure to me, but I can't see any other procedure. Could someone please tell me the correct procedure here.
My apologies if these questions are too obvious to some, or have already been answered in some fashion in earlier posts.
But I'm sure this post of questions will only help others in the future if people are willing to help with the answers.
Thanks
