Firmware: 1.4.5 (latest)
Model: RDD516 Diskless

    Hi P1ka,

     

    Welcome to the Community!

     

    May I know the brand and model of the hard drives?

     

    The ReadyDATA platform only accepts HDDs and SSDs that operate with 512N sector size. Drives that are 512E or 4K will NOT work on ReadyDATA OS. The disk will show as "unsigned" when it does not meet the requirements.

     

    Regards,

        Online I found that if I was to get new disk I would need to get from WesternDigital atleast the Ultrastar SATA Series.
