HDD Replacement - Expected Rebuild Time
Hi, I have a Netgear Utlra 6 with 5x2TB drives and 1x3TB drive. I removed one of my 2TB drives and then replaced it with a brand new 3TB drive. The rebuild has started but has been going for 3 days...
Ok, thanks guys, I'm pretty sure you nailed it. I started with only 1 x 2TB drive and then added drives from there. I'm confident the issues now are due to the online expansion problem. I guess I will just need to remove data from the NAS, and to a factory restore with more drives already in it and go from there.
But it is slightly concerning how many people here have lost data on these boxes. The primary reason for purchasing this was for data redundancy in case a drive fails (and to get away from Windows home server and it's unreliability). But I guess there is no such thing as full redundancy, well, not if your on a budget anyways :)
Thanks everyone for your help.
