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...
- Feb 01, 2021The 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
