Ready Nas Adding a new disk

[ImanAlimi]

Hi.

I purchased a Readny NAS 104 and added 3 X 2TB Hard disks to Slot 1-3. Works Fine.

Today, I bought a 4TB WD Red HDD and added to the 4th slot.

The LED on display for 4th slot is ON.

on the admin panel, I can see that the 4th slot has SATA 4TB, but it is gray. I tried to select it and format it, but still it is gray and the capacity didn't expand.

Can anybody helps?

Thanks.

SOLVED:

TO UPDATE, I checked the Hard Disk. It was all good.

I left the device, and It found the Hard Disk after 24 Hours!

Now works fine.

Thanks Stephen for your comments.

Perhaps try rebooting the NAS.

Tried 3 Times 😞

The next step is to test the new drive.  The best way is to connect the drive to a windows PC (either SATA or via a usb/sata adapter) and run Western Digital's lifeguard program.

Also, if you have a scratch disk available, you could insert it into slot 4 and see if it is recognized.
