RN314 – ReadyNAS 300 Series 4- Bay Model / Version: RN314 - Encryption

Afternoon,

 

I have been fighting with a R314 ReadyNas over the last few days in an attempt to encrypt the hard drives using a USB stick.

 

From checking the R314 is not detecting the USB stick being plugged into the device and being removed on the status screen which is a first sign of problems.

Ive formatted the memory stick as Fat32, updated the software to the latest BETA version 03/01/2019 and performed a factory reset.

 

Each time when creating the volume (with xraid disabled) the NAS does not detect that a usb drive is plugged in.

 

Any ideas? Does the R314 support this type of setup (ive recently performed the same with no problems on a RN204)

Model: RN31441D|ReadyNAS 300 Series 4- Bay (4x 1TB Desktop)

Hi ashturnerit,

 

Welcome to the Community!

 

The RN314 also support that type of setup. Have you tried using another USB drive?

That did the trick. As soon as we tried a fresh 16GB usb it detected it on the dashboard screen and encrypted fine.

 

Very odd that the other 8GB stick just wasnt recognised even though it was formatted in the same way.

 

All up and running! Thanks again for the quick response!

They are picky about the USB drive.  Legacy systems even moreso.
