    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

    ReadyNAS Network Storage: Official NETGEAR Community

    In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

    You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

    I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

    1. Are you using XRAID or FlexRAID?
    2. What size are the other disks?
    3. What disk models are you using?
