Drive Compatibility & Expansion Related Issues
I am planning to buy ReadyNAS RN104 Diskless because I already have 2x1TB hard drives. Specification for drives is: "Samsung Barracuda Green HD105SI 1 Terabyte (1TB) SATA/300 5400RPM 32MB Hard Drive"...
I've finally been able to pinpoint the problem myself, it was the new netgear nighthawk router. I've exchanged it for an old TP-Link router with DD-WRT firmware and all worked well.
The problem persists for me because I bought the Nighthawk to use it. I now know that it's having problems with other things like Netflix, all with default configurations. I tried updating the firmware, opening ports, setting DMZ mode and NAT filtering to open. Nothing fixes Netflix. However, after registering the ReadyNAS on ReadyCLOUD with the TP-Link router, I've never gotten the "Services Offline" message again, even when using the Nighthawk. Alas, the ReadyCLOUD interface cannot access the ReadyNAS when using Nighthawk.
Well at least I've found the culprit.
EDIT: forgot to say, support has not been much help. Level 2 was better than level 3, at least he replied me within a reasonable time.
