RN104 connection to PC
I have four hard drives that are listed as compatible. All are 2TB, 1.5TB and 1TB and none of them work. It keeps giving me an error that the disks are dirty and previously used, requiring a format. ...
The NAS needs to format the disks to use them. We wipe the disks, partition them, put the OS on the disks and the data volume.
You will need to backup the data off the disks first.
Then I would delete the partitions off the disks using your PC and put them in the NAS.
Better yet would be to get some new disks e.g. WD RED 2TB WD20EFRX or SeaGate NAS 2TB ST2000VN000 and use those.
