I’ve a 1019+ fitted with four 3TB WD30efrx in RAID 5, so I decided to expand my drive pool, I got a Seagate Ironwolf 4TB HDD, installed in spare bay, booted up, drive recognised, tried to add it, got error message, system failed to expand with Drive 5, tried secure erase, failed, am I being to...

Hi All, This has probably been answered many times before so I apologise for asking again. Background : I have a DS215j with a single 4TB Seagate Drive which I thought would be future proof when I purchased it 4-5 years ago. It's storage capabilities are far greater than I will ever (ever)...

Look here: I will prepare some deep outcomes based on historical BB stats. Some interesting points: - they don’t have SAS drives in their storage farm - no WD drives (except HGST) - no top enterprise level drives in major share - just spindle mentioned

this is C+P content from WD community, because I need to show you, how people can describe the “colors” definition of WD HDD: and back to reality: WD discontinued Green HDD product line in 2015 (5y ago) just to be sure. Maybe someone can find them at ebay. WD Green line was moved into Blue...

Hi I have set up idling times etc. for the fan and HDD activity but the HDD (Single Disk System) is constantly activating even when the PC's are not online. Can anyone suggest a reason please?

Hi, i have a DS916+ and am currently using HyperBackup to perform a nightly backup of the NAS to an external USB3 drive. Been working fine that way for years. (I also have live backup of the NAS to OneDrive). I am toying with the idea of adding a second USB3 drive and scheduling a fortnightly...

I have seen this post: this is really big mistake, when some try to replace PCB between two different HDD from diff. models/revisions of same vendor. Recommendation for such problem is - hands off

Since I started anew with a Full NAS backup task to a USB3 HDD I noticed this behaviour again. During the backup process (Local Folder & USB - single version), some of the NAS features simply stop working. In the resource center you "only" see that Disk Activity is very high and Volume Activity...

We will be "formatting / writing / shipping UPS ground across the U.S. / then reading" 6-8TB data. This cycle will repeat 4-6 times per year. I'm looking for advice on selection of a ~12TB (more or less) HDD that would be well suited for the sustained writing part of the cycle, as well as...

Join the class-action suit (keep our lawyers healthy and wealthy)... 🙈 🙊 🙉 Western Digital Lawsuit For Shipping Slower SMR Hard Drives Including WD Red NAS

here is a list from official Seagate site with a definition which disk uses what kind of recording technology I miss Part Numbers of the disk, but it's better than nothing, confirmed previously defined IronWolf/Pro as CMR HDD For surveillance purpose is great to know, that SkyHawk/AI is pure...

I have a 2 disc Raid 1 system. I know it writes to both HDDs but what disc does it read from? Always 1, always 2 or alternates ? (assuming system knows none of the hdds are bad). If I suspected some files were corrupted on one HDD, is there a way I can force it to either read from 1...

It appears that WD has stepped away from EFRX/EFAX and now offers a new naming convention for retail NAS (red) drives. For example, WDBMMA0040HNC-NRSN ... where the highlighted digits represent the nominal capacity. Internal Drives for Retail | Western Digital | Western Digital Any word on...

Hi all I've a DS418 with 4x4TB drives in an SHR volume. File system is ext4. The DS418 is running DSM 6.2. Main use is a file server for videos and photos. I'm looking to purchase a DS918+ to take advantage of more power and upgradeable RAM to hopefully speed up thumbnail creation etc. Looking...

from my 2 days research I have better overview, what HDD was created with CMR and what with SMR technology (not only for NASes). Seems to be two main HDD vendors - Seagate and Western Digital have prepared new NAS product white sheets with clear information about used technology for a magnetic...
