Then is sounds like you may have a DOA drive. Have you tried testing with Data Lifeguard?
- No, I have no way of connecting it to another device
Thank you for the help guysIf you download the log zip file, there could be some clues in there about what is going wrong.
You can upload the log zip into cloud storage (google drive, dropbox, etc), and send a private message with a downloadable link to one of the mods ( JohnCM_S or Marc_V ) asking them to take a look. You send a PM using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page.
Don't post the link publicly.
Hi guys,
I just want to drop into this thread because it is eaxactly what I want to do. I have 4 4 gig drives right now and want to replace them with 10 gig drives, or at least one right now.
I have a ready nas 214, I am assuming that if it is unformatted that is will add and balance the raid?
I am guessing I will loose most of my 4 gig availabiltiy at that time as it will need to set aside room for the 10 gigs data?
Should I get at least 2 10 gigs in this scenario to ensure more disk space is available?
Thanks in advance. It also looks like I should put it straight into the nas from factory - not preformatting?
I hope he got his going as he has not come back on.
