Did you let the 1st drive to finish syncing? from what I understand on your description you inserted all 3 drives all at the same time? have you checked the logs or RAIDar on what is the current status of the NAS? You may have to wait for the NAS to finish syncing the 1st drive.

 

You may want to post screenshot of your Volume page in the admin page.

Marc_V StephenB  Thanks for your reply, 1st drive syncing is in progress, I am also waiting for syncing to be finished after that I will connect the other 2 drives one by one. I have just configured raid6 only.

 

Marc_V I didn't use 3 TB or drives in my nas. I have just installed 6TB drives only.
