ReadyNAS NV+ (RND4000) Cannot create Raid 0 volume
I have a NV+ that was in RAID 0 and 2 HDD died. Data is backed up so not an issue, the system ran for >4 yrs no issues once setup. I had many issues with the original purchased unit so this product...
The firmware is not the problem.
Are you using RAIDar 6.0? RAIDar 6.0 is meant primarily for our new devices. You could try using RAIDar 4.3.8 instead. Other users have found that resolved the problem for them.
Or you could simply delete the volume that is created using Frontview and then create the RAID-0 volume(s) you want. I would recommend a separate volume for each disk if you use RAID-0. With a RAID-0 volume if a single disk fails all data on the volume is lost.

Switching to RAIDar 4.3.8 did the trick. Very confusing and I had to hunt down the software as not on Netear website, at least I could not find it.
Thanks
