I have just purchased 2 X 4TB WD Red Pro WD4003FFBX hard drives to replace the existing 1TB disks and am having issues with the drives.
I have replaced drive 2 with one of the new drives and when the system powers up the power light blinks two short and one long. Within the admin screen I can see that the disk model, serial number. Volume State: NEW, Disk State: UNKNOWN.
I have tried the format option from the Volumes screen after selecting the disk, entered FORMAT in the confirmation box, but nothing seems to happen.
Re: ReadyNAS 102 With WD Red Pro WD4003FFBX Problems
I have now received the replacement WD Red Pro WD4003FFBX from the supplier, and am happy to report they installed with out an issue.
Step 1: Powered down the NAS and inserted one of the new drives into bay 2 (the original 1TB drive being kept in bay 1)
Step 2: Powered up the NAS and once booted could see that the X-RAID was rebuilding. The resync completed in 4 hours.
Step 3: Powered down the NAS and inserted the othe new drive into bay 1
Step 4: Powered up the NAS and once booted could see that the X-RAID was rebuilding. The resync completed in 3 hours, and the increases capacity was recognized.
The NAS is currently in the process of syncing volume data, but evrything looks good and there has been no loss of data.
Re: ReadyNAS 102 With WD Red Pro WD4003FFBX Problems
Hi Stephen,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
The system is using XRAID.
After posting the message on the forum I tried starting the NAS with just one of the new disks in and performing a Factory Reset, but it never completed. Netgear Raidar reported the NAS as having a corrupt image.
I then placed just one of the original drives back into the NAS and perfomed a normal start, the system came back up without any issues (otehr than being degraded).
I checked the new WD Red Pro drives with WD Data Lifeguard and it reported 'Too many bad sectors' on both drives. I have now arranged for the drives to be replaced by the supplier.
I'll update this post when the new drives arrive and I have installed them in the NAS.
