RAIDar can't find NV+ V2

Are you certain you have a v2? The label is misleading - check here: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how ... -or-nv-v2/

What firmware is the NAS running?
Are you perhaps using wireless? RAIDar depends on ethernet broadcast packets to get through (that is what it uses to discover the NAS).

Yes sorry wireless, my other NAS (WD 6TB MBLD) is in that port. I'll try that and see if it helps. Will report back.

OK here's where I got...

It wasn't detectable via homeplugs but was when plugged directly into the mac. Which leads me to two follow up questions if I may be so bold?

Once setup is complete I can plug it into my router and access it wirelessly from now on?

As I add further drives to bays 2-4 each one will format to match the JBOD structure of the one already installed?

Far too many follows up questions but I believe these are the two that are burrowing into my brain at the moment. I appreciate any answer of course.

Generally yes. RAIDar discovery might not work, but you don't really need that once the system is setup. ReadyDLNA might also be an issue (since it also depends on broadcast packets).

I don't own a v2. However with ReadyNAS generally, if you are in flexraid/jbod mode the system won't format disks automatically. After you insert them, you go into the dashboard and set them up.
