But, the setup itself does not work with a single drive - it ends in corrupt root during volume creation. This is a brand new drive. Should I still add more drives?
How big is the new drive? Also what firmware is running on the NV?
When it first came out, the NV worked with drives less than 2 TB (which was all that existed back then). 2TB drives support was added in 4.1.7 firmware, but won't work with firmware older than that. Drives > 2 TB can't be used, as the firmware doesn't support GPT formatting.
If the new drive is less than 2 TB, then perhaps try another one - since sometimes they are defective out of the box. You could also try running the manufacturer diags on the one that failed.
Though it could be other components that are failing - a bad SATA backplane or system board for example.

The new drive is 1TB and the firmware is the original one, v2.x. I will try manufacture diagnostics. I am actually suspecting either the SATA backplane or the processor bootup flash - some sectors might have corrupted causing this issue.
