492 TopicsTransfer the hard drive from a failing Readynas 312? Planning for inevitable failure..
I've got a RN312, firmware 6.10.10. I kept extras in case any failed, and I think one is on it's way. It humms a bit louder than the normal (and louder than the others I have), and caused interference with the sound from the computer. The Readynas has two 20TB Toshiba hard drives, which have functioned perfectly. I'm wondering if anyone has successfully just transferred a working hard drive from one Readynas 312 to another; would it just boot up normally? As long as the firmware matches? Otherwise I'd have to reinstall a backup to a different 312 which of course, takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r. I'll leave this up, if anyone knows the answer to this. If not, I will try it with a much smaller drive (500MB) first, to see if it's feasible. Thanks everyone. Oh, for anyone who doesn't know, the 20 TB CMR Toshiba drives work just fine. nothing special needed, just install the drives, plug the nas in, and it goes to work all by itself just perfectly, as usual. I have two others working like this one.Prb sur une baie Nas 10400
Bonjour, J ai un souci sur mon nas rn10400, J ai la baie 3 qui n alimente plus mon disque.

Using 524X with firmware 6.10.9 Finally had a disk fail. the disk test option from front view reporting error, but no reasons given, smart status wasn't showing errors. well I tried to resync it just in case, but that just led to corrupted volumed, so then I basically did a boot menu disk test...which ran all the way through and reported one disk with failures, so I pulled that disk out and attempted to do a factory reset with the 3 remaining disks (which have some corrupted volume state). The factory reset from boot menu fails and raider gives message about corrupt root. One of the disks showed up as RED in front view and I see message about removing the other two in order to use it, or something.. well anyway I tried to remove that disk and did a factory reset successfully with just two disks..and that worked fine. However, then its reseting as Raid1 rather then raid5. I tried to "format" the one showing up as red, didn't seem to make any difference. or maybe didn't work I can't remember now. Eventually I figured out it was showing the old corrupted volume still, so I managed to destroy that volume and then it no longer displayed as red, however doing another factory reset with all three drives, hoping for raid5, fails...and raidar says corrupt root. What is the secret method to completely wipe all three disks and factory reset this thing to a clean slate? as I understand it, ReadyNAS OS is doing something to prevent me from being able to wipe it as as protection to make sure we don't accidentally lose important data..but in this case I want to wipe it, completely and start over...is there no way to do this?ReadyNAS 316 additional drives
I have two 3.0TB WD Red drives (WD30EFRX, September 2014) in my 6 bay RE316. It's time to expand my data capacity, and I was hoping someone could advise on my best options. Would I need to buy another pair of the same drives to double capacity? Or can I install a single higher capacity drive? Thanks, MaxSolvedReadyNAS Pro 6 RNDP6000-200 on OS6 - What is the Maximum Hard Drive Size?
Hey everyone, I have a ReadyNAS Pro 6 running the latest version of OS 6 and I was wondering if anyone knew what the maxium hard drive capacity is? I'm currently running 6x 3tb drives, though I'm looking at potentially purchasing 6x 10tb or 12tb drives and I wanted to make sure this would work. I'm uncertain if my NAS is the original RNDP6000 or V2. Unsure if that matters. I've upgraded the NAS to a Core2Duo CPU and upped the ram to 4gb as well. Thanks in advance!Solved3.8KViews0likes2Commentsnetgear readynas 1100

I'm considering buying a 716 chassis and moving my 516 disks to the new chassis. As I understand it there should not be any problem moving the volumes as long as I move all of the disks for the volumes (correct me if I am wrong), however I want to move my system also. I have applications installed and I added virtualbox which modifies the OS. Can I move the system harddisk to the new system, i.e. will the harddisk and system software be compatible? And if not, what would be the suggested way for me to move? Thank you to all in advance. I am presently running OS 6.1.Dual LAN connectivity
I am looking into getting the ReadyNAS 422 to store media files and some documents. My issue is I have 2 computers that are on LAN 1 that has internet and 2 devices that are on LAN 2 that can not have internet. I understand aggregation but can I use one port for LAN1 and the other for LAN2? Also Is there a way to access files then through windows explorer just like if I had an 2nd hard drive installed?Solved
