Quick sector question

[mikeap]

I want to put in a new hard drive as one of the 4 is failing. I have an original NV and it is Xraid. Do I need to wipe and reformat to go to 4K or am I 4K already?

I've posted the log below, just wanted to double check here before I do anything.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Which firmware version are you running?

You would have needed to factory default after upgrading to 4.1.7 firmware in order to get 4K support:

I'm running 4.1.4 but it sounds like it doesn't matter, I"ll still need to wipe it if I want 4K support. Is that right?

[dbott67]

Correct.

Look on the bright side. After you complete your backup, you will have a current and complete backup, at least for a while.
