WD WD1002FAEX
Please advise if the below WD1002FAEX model from WD is compatible with the NAS Storages???? Roy
Hi,
I (foolishly) bought two of these drives for a Duo two weeks ago without checking the compatibility list to upgrade from 2x500GB WD drives. Exact drive = WD1002FAEX-00Z3A0.
Have tried hot swapping each drive in turn according to the instructions and neither work so far. Errors are the same for both:
'The disk attached to channel 1 could not be used. The most common reasons are RAID resync in progress, faulty drives, and disks that are too small to be added to the array.'
'A SATA reset has been performed on one or more of your disks that may have affected the RAID parity integrity. It is recommended that you perform a RAID volume resync from the RAID Settings tab ( accessible in the Volumes page => Volume tab in FrontView ). The resync process will run in the background, and you can continue to use the ReadyNAS in the meantime.'
Blinking light error has been constant for each drive.
There has been no sync progress (only 114GB stored on the 500GB drive on the Duo and left the first disk in situ for 48 hours).
Is there anyone who knows what I can do to attempt to use these disks? Would a jumper make any difference? Any disk firmware upgrade that could make any difference?
Thanks in advance.
