Help Please
I had been using the readynas with 250Gb drives a number of years ago and upgraded to a windows server with 12x1Tb drives. I came back to the RNR4000 a month ago seeing what the maximum drive size it...

aye, thank you, but its doing the same thing with or without disks, getting to the end of the successful memory check but just wont powercycle from the power button on the front. sadly I don't have any of the original 250gb drives, I send those to be degaussed.

Mar 09, 2017Sorry to hear that, I would perceive that as a strong hint, that your old companion passed away and suggest you let go.

He he he, what did I say :), there is life :).
What I did....
1. powered the unit off.
2. opened the cover (its way out of warranty anyway and I had to do that to change the memory anyway.)
3. removed the USB stick with the OS on.
4. Powered back on. It won't boot Oh No!!!
5. While powered on, plugged the USB stick back in and saw the led flicker on it.
6. Powered off and back on again.
7. Sat back and waited for the drives to Initialise. (Still waiting... well they are 2TB drives)
