I've been working with the LS421DE and two new Seagate 3TB drives. After much hassle and cleaning drive #1 I was eventually able to get the forced firmware update and drive #1 formatted and working. So now with one drive in the case the system seems good.
My goal is to run the two 3TB drives in RAID 1. I have added the 2nd drive and found the Linkstation. For status I am getting: I32: Drive 2 detected. Rebuild the RAID array or format the drive. This is where I am now stuck. I have tried to go to the settings. I am at the web browser with the Buffalo setup page greyed in the background but with a message box: Reading. Please wait..... and the cursor circle spinning.
First question: How do I get past this point so I can actually do some set up? This had worked previously when I just had drive #1 in place. With the second drive I can't seem to get past this.
Second question: Once I get past this, do I need to do a drive 2 format first or do I go straight into attempting to build the RAID 1 array?
Thanks,
I'm not in IT so have patience.
