ReadyNAS NV+ v2 drive 2 not detected
I have a unit that will not detect a drive in bay 2. On a currently configured x-raid it will detect the drive in bay 2 but if i put a new set of drives in all 4 bays and do a factory reset no disk i...
I puirchased a "for parts or repair" Ultra4 that had a similar problem with 2 bays. On occasion, one of them would detect a drive, but other times not. Just rebooting it could make it go from detected to undetected. One bay never would detect a drive. That unit had obviusly been dropped, and the problem turned out to be the SATA backplane. I did not try to fix the backplane, I swapped one from an NVX. So, if it's not the drive itself, it could be the NAS. And if it is the NAS, your chances of a repair are probably poor.
Put one drive in Bay 1 and do a factory reset. Then power down, move the drive to bay 2, and re-start. If it won't boot and says "no drives", it's probably the backplane.
