Just a quick question - some drives already IN the HCL have 4K sectors, and I'm not talking about the problematic WD models that require a factory default. What about those (i.e. not the WD ones)?
I'm asking because my ReadyNAS Pro lists a 4096 block size in its volume log (thanks for the tip, BTW), as it was initialized with Radiator 3.x. Can I put a, say, Seagate 2Tb drive with 4K sectors WITHOUT resetting the NAS? My objective is to autoexpand, if possible, from 6x1Tb to 6x2Tb.
