Newbie - Novice requires Setup Advice
Hi, I'm a complete novice when it comes to NAS, Raid, etc, however have bought some kit, so would like some advice on the best setup for what I want to primarily use, which is: i) Media Stream...
This is getting more interesting by the second. I've got 2 x 3TB drives unopened, details are:
Model: ST3000DM001
PN: 1CH166-300
FW: CC43
Made in Thailand
Model: ST3000DM001
PN: 9YN166-500
FW: CC4b
Made in China
The other 2 x 3TB's I am awaiting delivery, but I can return the order.
So what do I do with these drives? Am I able to use both of them in the ReadyNas? What do I need to do first?
I am now confused as it seems I have to do some firmware upgrading (on my PC) before sticking the drives into the ReadyNas for initialization?
Will I have a problem with the other 2 drives I am about to receive?
