Data: DEGRADED on RN104
Hi guys, extreme help required. Added a second 4TB WD RED into slot 2 of my RN104 NAS tonight and everything started off ok and then suddenly I have the following flashing at me every few seconds.. ...
Hi guys, I know its been a while since I was on last about this issue but here is an update.
Received the replacement 4TB from the web retailer and inserted it into SLOT 2 where it was originally and left it for a while.
The good news is that the DATA DEGRADED has now disappeared and everything is back to normal except that from what I have learned from you guys (huge thank you !!!) I now have my RN104 in RAID 1 meaning that the SLOT 2 drive is a replica of SLOT 1
So now the next step I presume is I would have to get another 4TB drive for SLOT 3 to use for more data as SLOT 2 is used by SLOT 1 for backup purposes or as was stated at the beginning change the RAID factor from 1 to JBOD so to use the Drive in SLOT 2 as an extension to storage.
