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 ...
FWIW, both disks passed the long generic test and just to be extra-safe I went ahead and performed the write/erase test in the advanced menu. One drive passed after about 12 hours and the other drive failed about 12 hours into the test. That was a surprise. I've already returned it and am waiting for the replacement.
Hi JiimJ,
Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Once the replacement drive arrives, run the same diagnostic test before you install it on your NAS.
Kind regards,
