So I have the first drive in and running, and I thought I would install a second.
I mounted it physically, and the NAS says "Disconnected"
So I selected disk 2 and "rediscover disk"
Nothing.

Rebooted the NAS, and when it comes online, the disk is marked as "Failed".

I mount the disk in my main system, there's no partitions, all is fine.  I create a partition, format, and do a disk test, all is fine.
I delete the partition, and put it back in the NAS, same problem.

What's up with that?

No idea why, but I tried a different drive, also with no partitions defined, and it worked fine.
The working drive is a 4TB WD.  The not working drive is a 3TB Seagate.   The 3TB works fine in my main system.
The NAS didn't give me any diagnostics that I could find, just DFW error.


(DFW error = Doesn't F****** Work)..  :)
