Much Ado About ReadyNAS Ultra 4

Hi,

Does anyone have an estimate of how much time is needed to initialise 4 x 2Tb Hitachi HDD on a ReadyNAS Ultra 4?

I had this unit set up and it was working fine.

I decided to boot it up today to migrate my files from my NV+. Anyway, to keep it short, I had to set the Ultra 4 unit to Factory Default.

Now all that it's showing is "Testing disks" on the LCD screen. It's been running for about 1 hour or so.

Has anyone experienced this before?

Any help would be appreciated!

  • I think the transfers will take another day. My total amount of data was 2776Gb.

    We're currently looking at approx. 1950Gb transferred after approx. 56 hours.....
  • Yes! Finally. The backup has been successfully completed! Thank you everyone for your input and help!
