My NAS killed the drives after 'ERASE' command
i have had issues with this NAS and disk capacity, had 2 x 2tb and 2 x 4tb. have finally figured out and understood the interesting way netgear try and hide their raid setup, as only had 6tb of space...
- The disks can be unlocked using hdparm e.g.
# hdparm --security-unlock NETGEAR /dev/sda
# hdparm --security-disable NETGEAR /dev/sda
In the NV+ v2 the internal disks should be /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd

thanks for this
ok so have built a ubuntu 20.10 desktop, attached hard disk, tried the hdparm, and get security-password "NETGREAR" permission denied
have tried upper and lower case, also tried no password
any other possibility?
also, i can boot into tech support mode and telnet in, but only diskless. if i have any of the secured disks in it - which i imagine i need to fix them - it doesnt boot, sits on boot menu "booting..."
ah ok figured it out thanks for steering in the right direction some more googling with your parameters and tech support root access managed to get things back on track cheers
