ReadyNAS Duo v2 / WD RED 3TB x 2 / Erase Volume

Just a quick follow-up message here. I am in the process of configuring a NIB ReadyNAS Duo v2 with 2x WD RED 3TB drives. This is a completely new setup, I had a v2 waiting in a box until I needed it. Well, again I have the same symptoms as my original thread: LED status Power = ON, Drive1 = ON, and Drive2 = ON plus non-responsive Power button (2 pushes does not power down the unit). Doesn't show up in RAIDar either. It's been 36 hours. I'm going to wait this time though, perhaps a week, to see if anything changes. In other words I wlll not pull the power cord this time. I'm curious to see if I end up with locked drives again -- if so, there's a bug somewhere. Why should doing an Erase from RAIDar/Setup result in locked unusable drives?
