Help with my NAS RN(312)
I'm new to "Ready NAS". I have the RN312
I probably should used WD red drives but I used
2 Western Digital WD2002FAEX 2TB 7200RPM SATA 3.5" Black Hard Drives
I have 6.9.3 Firmware
It's telling me my "status" is degraded.
How do I fix that?

Hi Bigdon26,
"Degraded" status means that there is no redundancy in your volume. In your case, one of the disks might have failed or is not detected by the chassis. Are the drives also brand new?
You may also download the logs and provide it to us so we can check. You may visit this link for the steps on how you can send it.

I bought the drives on eBay and was told there were refurbished? Now I'm thinking "referbished" by owner as in he formated them?
I have a brand new set of 4TB Western Digital "RED" drives coming tomorrow.
Hi Bigdon26,
Do you still have the same volume status on your NAS after using the WD Red drives?
