New ReadyNas 104 issues

Hi all

I have setup a ReadyNas 104 over the last few days and facing some issues.

Currently running 4 x 2TB disks. System picked RAID 5. Did not see any other options on where I could change it. Roughly 5tb ish of space.

Appears to be taking an age to build the array more than 24hr is this correct ? I have updated the FW to the latest as of yesterday.

Plus if I want to use any of the ReadyNas Remote functions it appears to never connect via my mobile. What are the best ports to open to allow access ?

  • Hi..

    Yes , I'm also use a 104 with 3 *4TB drives RAID 5 the rebuild typical takes 2-3 days ... 104 suffers from a lack of horse power ...

    Can't comment on remote access as I use BitT Sync to remotely access my NAS ..

    Thanks. Does it have to rebuild every time it is powered off ?

    If you unsafely power it off it will need to do a rebuild. If you power it off normally it shouldn't need to.

    Are you using the ReadyCloud app on your mobile or something else?

    Thanks for the info. I am using ready cloud app on Android
  • Try turning off the DLNA Server. It speeded up my resent when I put mine together a few days ago.

    Thanks. I have just sent it back. More an issue with my patience than anything else. Just orders a HP Gen 8 Microserver in place of this
