Drive Compatibility & Expansion Related Issues

Hi StephenB,

I have the NAS RN104 with me now.
The 2x1 TB drives which I want to put have data in them. Please tell me the correct way to put new hard drive in it out of these:

1) Format the whole drive as single partition as NTFS?
or,
2) Remove all the partitions and let ReadyNAS format and manage the drive?

any other best suitable suggestion which you may think?

Thanks.

Update 1:

Resync is going on @ 0.5% per minute..
FW is 6.0.0

Meanwhile, when I tried to discover the device using ReadyCloud, although the device was detected in no time, joining is giving the error : "Device communication error. Failed to update device info. Would you like to retry" (links for screenshots are given below).





Is the reason of this error due to resnc?
Can someone tell me if above is not true then what could be the reason for this error?

Thanks.
