ReadyNas Ultra 2 - Installation Problems
Hi - just setting up my ReadyNas Ultra 2. I have purchsed 2x3TB Hitachi disks that are on recomended products list. I understand I may have to upgrade the firmward to see the larger disks, but no...
If you are running 4.2.15 or lower, you MUST update the firmware to properly recognize the 3TB drives of any manufacturer with the possible exception of Seagates that have Smartsense. This can be done by starting the NAS with a smaller drive, it will only take about 15 minutes to set up the volume with all defaults, then upgrade the firmware to 4.2.16 or higher and then remove the small drive, install the 3TB drives and do another factory default.
Silvercue, you did not list the model of Hitachi 3TB drives. There are only two approved for use out of 5 different models shown on Newegg.
