drive testing with new diskless RN204
I'm about to set up a new diskless RN204 with two new 6TB Seagate Capacity V4 drives in Raid 1 mode. I'm totally new to the NAS world. I've read a lot of the forum posts and done some searching but ...
Thank you for the tips. I'm testing both drives now with Seatools. So far the Smart checks and short generic tests look good. The long generic tests are running now and will continue for about 12 hours.
If I get through that ok do you think I'm good to go or should I try to run some of the things on the advanced menu?
Hi JiimJ,
If ever both drives have passed the long generic tests then you can now proceed on inserting both drives on your RN204 for it to be initially setup.
