ReadyNas Duo v2 - Installation & Setup
Hi all This is my first post and I admit it is a little noobish, so please go gentle :) After extensive research particularly on this forum, coupled with the fact that I own numerous Netgear p...
The ST3000DM001 has a bug in it's release firmware where the drive constantly attempts to park the drive heads about once every 30 seconds to a minute. And it's performance with this release firmware is woeful at times. The CC4H firmware totally fixes both these issues with this drive as far as I can tell on the one I have.
This will however require connection of said drives to your PC to update them via the Firmware updater tool. If you can power down the NAS normally (i.e: via Frontview, or the double tap on the front panel button), you should be able to update the firmware on the drives and put them back in the NAS with no ill effects, and syncing speed should be improved. But I would backup your data in case a factory reset is required later on.
EDIT: Also make sure the drives are replaced in the NAS after updating, in the SAME bays from which they were removed.
