'Volume creation failed' for the second hard drive in ReadyNAS 102, please help
I just bought the 2nd HDD, a WD red pro 6TB, to expand space for my RN102. I tried to format it and make it into a new volume, but it always says: 'Volume creation failed'. The error info are attach...
I put it in a HDD Enclosure and start the diagnostics. It just beeping constantly... I remember when I put it in the NAS, it also beeped for a few seconds.
Then it seems an issue on the HDD itself. I'm now checking how can I return it to WD now :(

Definitely the drive then.
Exchange it with the seller if you can, they should give you a new drivewith a full warranty in return. WD will give you a recertified one (with only a one year warranty).
