Hi all,
I've had this Linkstation for years with it's original 2x 1TB Samsung HDDs and finally decided to upgrade both drives to 3TB WD30EFRX HDDs.
When I insert the new HDDs into the unit, I just get the flashing red error lights and I cannot even access the webpage settings page. NAS Navigator does not find the device at all either. If I put the old HDDs back in, the device works fine again. I tried resetting everything to factory defaults, but it makes no difference. I just lose all access to the device when using both new HDDs on the device.
Then I tried putting the original Samsung HDD into slot 1 of the device and one of the new Western Digital HDDs into slot 2 and then I can access the device, but it does not seem to fully recognize the HDD. I can see this from the settings website
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByUrVk3vdcuZNGYzUzF4S18yUk0/view?usp=sharingIt just shows Disk 2 as "removed" but then it is still able to show the model of the HDD WD30EFRX-68EUZN0.
Can anyone help me here? Does this NAS just not support these drives and I need to go buy a new one?
