On my ReadyNAS 104, Firmware 6.5 I changed, one after another, all 4 of the 500GB HDD's to 3GB HDD's to extens the capacity. All went well up to the last disk. The process of degrading and restoring...

Hello!
After 50 hours of resynch, my RN104 is now redundant (Using X-Raid).
Do the procedure of upgrading the RN1004 firmware with 6.5.2 T486 fixed the bug.
Just for your information.
Thanks again for your support.
Best regards.

This happened to me just the other day as well. However I can probably confirm that the drives aren't the problem, as it occurred to both NAS drives I owned.
RN10400s, one on 6.5.0 and one on 6.5.1, each originally with three WDEFRX 4TB Red drives in RAID 5 (X-RAID). I added in a fourth drive to both (same model) and at about 25%, both hit the same error. Freezes the NAS completely, can't access the UI, nothing.
Restarted the NAS units, and resyncing resumed for a few percent before eventually freezing with the same error again.
Not sure where to go with them now.

Hi ShortRaver,
Many thanks for your confirmation of my issue and yes that is exactly what has happened. Maybe it is the NAS OS that is the issue.
Hopefully this information will be beneficial to the guys here and in Netgear Support. I am currently opperating my NAS with just the 3 HDD's now and the fourth drive sitting on the shelf waiting for help on resolving it while the NAS itself is flashing DATA DEGRADED on its panel.
But everything is operating as normal. I can add files etc and play files from it too.
Regards
NJP

Hi,
I confirm I also have experienced this issue after adding a fourth drive to my RN10400 last night, it has crashed several times during the re-sync process, does anyone know if is likely to be stable after the re-sync is done or should I just give up trying to add the drive?
Regards

Hi dswinbank,
Basically I have removed the 4th HDD and powered up the NAS and the NAS will then go thorugh the data re-syncing process.
When complete it will state that the re-syncing completed successfully but the DATA will continue to say DATA DEGRADED.
While I have this still flashing on the control panel of the NAS - everything is working fine. But as always be weary. I am waiting on StephenL or BrianL to give more information to help with the issue.
Personally I am beginning to think that it is not the HDD that is the issue but either the OS of the NAS or the NAS hardware itself when a 4th HDD is inserted.
We wait and see :-)
Regards
NJP
