Stuck on Installing FW X-raid2 Mode
So We've had a NAS RN104 for about 2 years now and have decided to upgrade to the RN204 and I can't for the life of me get this thing to work. It's brand new out of the box for a week. I've got 4 x SSD Samsung 850 PRO 512gig that I will be putting in it however so far I can't even get it to boot up with one drive.
I've done about 4 factory resets and it gets stuck every time on Installing FW X-RAID2 Mode.. I can leave it over night for a few hours and it still doesn't get passed this stage. I've done another reset this morning at 8.00am and it's 2.00pm still suck on that screen.
I've browsed google and the forums for a solution but the only ones I can find say that a factory reset will fix the problem. :(
Has anyone come across ths problem ?
Our old RN104 is running fine still
Which firmware is this running? You may wish to update the firmware if the unit is running old firmware.
You may also wish to have a look at the compatibility list: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20641

You may wish to open a support case. Sounds like this will need some remote diagnosis.
HI mdgm
I've decided to pull out all the SSD's and put in a 2.5" Hard Drive and it seems to have tempoarily fixed the problem. It has completed the boot process and I can login, Now I'm just going through the process of installing 3 of the SSD's and then removing the HD to replace with the 4th SSD.
Fingers crossed it will all work.
I will jump onto support if this doesnt work though cheers .
