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 ...
I finally gave up on the replacement drive. The testing was just too flakey. Someitmes it would pass other times it would fail. I was being extra persistent because it was the 2nd bad drive and I was trying to eliminate any possbility that I was testing it incorrectly. In any case, I returned it and finally got a good one that passed all tests without a glitch - YAY!
I'm up and running on the RN204 now. I just updated firmware, reset factory defaults, and it is resyncing again.
I'll post a separate review of the drive purchasing experience in case anyone is interested.
HI JiimJ,
That seems very unlikely to happen. But we're glad that you're able to get a perfectly working drive to install in your system. I would suggest that you close this thread and post a new one about the performance and experience of the said drive model on this particular mode.
Kind regards,
