populating a RN316 with Seagate 10tb drives
Trying to fully populate the RN316 with 6 x Seagate ST10000NE0004 10TB drives i thought one at a time was the best way? it had 2 4TB drives installed swapped out bay one with first 10TB drive all wel...
If you need to retain use of the data on the NAS through the expansion process, then one drive at a time is the way to go. If a backup, data wipe, and data restore is acceptable, doing a factory default with all 6 new drives installed and then restoring your backup is much faster.

Thank you for your help problem sorted for the moment it is currently half way through resyncing last problem to deal with the drive in bay 6 isnt wasnt showing the blu light on the casing light but the drive dosn't show in the array decided to let the Nas finnish then try again to install the last drive any suggestions would be most appreciated
The drive could be DOA. Can you test it with a PC with SeaTools?
Volume finished Resyncing inserted drive blue light on casing has lit there is a beebing noise but the drive is not showing in the volume am waiting for a USB cable to plug the drive in what is the procedure here return to Amazon or contact Seagate for A warranty claim
And, of course, it was the last drive you used. Had it been earlier, you could have put in another and if it worked, it would have been clear it was a drive problem. Go with Amazon first for the return, Seagate may send you a refurb. And be sure the cable you get can handle the big drive.
